IntelliBOM is not one big feature. It is five engines running side-by-side — a compute core, a stock & cost intelligence layer, an in-Fusion palette, a document engine, and a vendor library. Each does one thing correctly. Here they are.
Every row on an IntelliBOM export traces back to the Fusion design tree itself. Nothing is guessed. Nothing is rounded “just in case.”
IntelliBOM walks the Fusion assembly tree once, reads every metadata attribute, applies structure rules, then hands a projected dataset to the grid. No caching mismatches. No drift between what you see and what you export.
Every component is visited once. A 500-part assembly takes less than a second to compute. External references from other Fusion files are detected at the boundary and treated as read-only — IntelliBOM never writes into a file you don’t own.
Subassembly breakdown uses a claim-and-skip pattern so a bearing listed in its parent subassembly isn’t re-exploded into 47 balls and rollers. You get structure, not a flood.
The grid is a projection of the dataset, not a copy of it. Templates apply column sets, filter predicates, group keys, and sort orders without mutating the underlying data. Switch roles in one click.
Override any row value with a simple arithmetic expression —
length * 1.05, qty + 2, price * count.
IntelliBOM does the math. Your spreadsheet habits, inside Fusion — safely,
with no risk of a typo breaking the add-in.
Material, stock, vendor, price, allowances, labor, notes — fill them in once, on the part itself. Fusion’s regular save preserves them alongside the geometry. Use that same part in a subassembly, in next quarter’s project, in a colleague’s file — the BOM data comes with it automatically. Nothing to re-enter. Your library builds itself as you work.
Material cost is the easy half. IntelliBOM also tracks labor, machinery, and unit cost per part — then consolidates stock across assemblies, nests sheets with a real 2D algorithm, and accounts for infill on every additive part.
First-Fit Decreasing Height is a deterministic shelf-packing algorithm. Parts sort largest-first, place on shelves, and every sheet reports real utilisation percentage. Override any stock size per row.
Recursive quantity consolidation across the full tree — a bearing in four subassemblies becomes one BOM row at qty 4. Stock consolidates across parts by material + profile + dimensions (never by part geometry).
For additive parts, IntelliBOM multiplies solid volume by infill percentage and material density to compute real extruded mass. You pay for the plastic that actually leaves the spool.
Linear, area, and volume stock share one cost model: divide the stock piece price by how many parts fit. No proportional guesses. No special cases. Vendor PO totals reconcile to the penny with stock purchase lists.
Labor cost and machinery time are first-class columns. Per part, per assembly, rolled up through the tree. Finance sees the total. Manufacturing sees the hours. Designers see where a redesign moves the number.
Excluded-from-BOM rows remain visible in the table for reference but contribute zero to grand totals and subtotals — cost, mass, or count. Hierarchical assembly rows never double-count their own children.
Every cut eats material. Every sheet has unreachable margins. IntelliBOM tracks kerf, end trim, edge margin, and support overhead per material and per row, then folds them into stock requirements before the PO prints. Your buy quantity matches your shop’s consumption to the millimetre — a feature no other Fusion BOM tool ships.
IntelliBOM lives in a dockable Fusion palette — grid on the left, row details on the right, suggestions above. Dark mode matches the Fusion theme. Keyboard-first navigation. The palette knows when you have unsaved work.
Thumbnails beside part names. Colour-tagged MAKE / BUY / external reference rows. Subtotals at every assembly boundary. Click any cell to edit; Ctrl+drag to batch.
Material, stock form, stock size, allowances, vendor, price, labor, machinery, notes — all in a side panel with tabs per vendor. Auto-fills part dimensions from live Fusion geometry.
Rule-based engine flags BUY-candidate parts, rounding risks, missing materials, and vendor mismatches. Accept, edit, or dismiss each — the grid updates in real time.
All 7 stylesheets ship dark-mode variants. Fusion’s active UI theme is read at
startup and mirrored into the palette via data-theme.
Every text field in the palette has the full right-click menu you already know from Excel and Windows. Copy a cell, paste into Excel, Cut and paste back — works the way you already work. Fusion doesn’t ship this capability; IntelliBOM adds it.
Close the palette with unsaved edits and a Save & Close / Discard / Cancel choice appears. No silent drops. No surprises.
The same dataset feeds every export. XLSX is styled like a finance document — banners, hyperlinks, colour-tagged rows, grand totals. PDF has four layout modes matched to the content. CSV stays clean for scripting.
Engineering BOM · MAKE vs BUY · Cost Breakdown · Vendor POs · BUY Parts · Stock Purchase List · Cut List · Sheet Nesting · Work Order · Assembly Parts · Hierarchical Guide · Inventory · Stock Room.
openpyxl under the hood with a custom styling layer. Colour-tagged MAKE / BUY rows, hyperlinked vendor product links, embedded thumbnails, proper subtotals and grand totals, multi-sheet bundles.
Vendor POs split one file per supplier. Cut list and sheet nesting page-break per stock dimension. MAKE vs BUY renders inline section headers with subtotals. Bundled fpdf2 — no external fonts required.
Complete Project Report · Fabrication Package · Purchasing Package · Assembly Kit. Each bundles the role’s documents into one workbook with a cover sheet and KPIs.
Upload a logo once. Set company name, address, contact, tax ID. Every PDF and XLSX export carries your branding — banner, footer, title block, optional watermark.
Every document type also exports as a clean CSV with a stable column layout — import into your spreadsheet, ERP system, or any other tool your shop already uses. Same data, same columns, every export. No styling, no surprises.
Material stock profiles are first-class objects. Vendors persist across designs. Past purchases become templates for the next quote.
183 starter profiles (90 metals + 44 wood + 49 plastics). Save any configuration to your favourites. Pin the top ten for one-click apply. Tree-navigable dropdown in every row.
Every vendor you enter is saved for next time. Start typing in any vendor field and IntelliBOM auto-completes from the names you’ve already used. Duplicate entries — same vendor, same price, same product link — get merged automatically so the list stays clean.
Split-by-vendor exports generate one PDF per vendor, each with its own header, product deep-links (Ctrl-click), stock requirements, and subtotal in the vendor’s currency.
Select multiple rows, pick a profile, apply. Stock form, spec, dimensions, and material update atomically — all fields or none, with a single undo step.
