Introduction

A bill of materials or product structure (sometimes bill of material, BOM or associated list) is a list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product.

The BOM, CAD, and build instructions are the Holy Triumvirate of open source design. These are the 3 critical aspects of design - see Meta Design Guide for a longer explanation.
