ITEM 00 FUSION 360 ADD-IN v1.0

The BOM Fusion forgot.

IntelliBOM turns Fusion 360 designs into thirteen production-ready documents — Engineering BOMs, Vendor POs, Cut Lists, Sheet Nesting, Stock Purchase Lists, Work Orders — for designers, purchasing, and the fabrication floor.

ITEM 01 · BRIEF · FEATURES

One add-in. Three departments.

The same dataset flows into the documents each role actually uses. No re-typing. No copy-paste. No “please re-export it differently.”

DESIGNER 01 / 03

Engineering BOMs with thumbnails and real hierarchy.

Clean assembly structure. Color-tagged MAKE / BUY / external references. Costs that roll up correctly. First export is shop-ready.

  • 13 document types
  • PDF + XLSX
  • Dark & light

FABRICATOR 02 / 03

Cut Lists, Sheet Nesting, Work Orders — machining-ready.

2D bin-packed sheet utilisation. Per-station work orders with stock dimensions, part counts, and operator notes. Straight from export to the shop floor.

  • FFDH bin packing
  • Consolidation
  • Utilisation %

ITEM 02 · ENGINE · ALGORITHMS + COST

Accurate by construction.

The numbers on an IntelliBOM export aren’t guessed from surface area. They are derived from the Fusion design tree itself — every part counted once, every sheet packed tight, every gram of infill paid for, every millimetre of saw kerf accounted for. Five engines do the work; none of them round up “just in case.”

01 · RECURSIVE CONSOLIDATION · UNIQUE

The multi-parent case no other BOM solves.

A subassembly nested three levels down in your main product and reused inside a sibling subassembly that itself repeats twice — IntelliBOM walks the full assembly graph and hands you one row at the correct rolled-up quantity. No other known Fusion BOM tool solves the recursive multi-parent case. One bearing in four subassemblies becomes one row at qty 4. Ten plywood parts feeding from one sheet become one sheet in the PO. The whole tree, reconciled.

  • Multi-level recursive
  • Multi-parent graph
  • Cross-assembly
  • Row-level override
02 · NESTING · FFDH

2D bin packing, not a guess.

Sheet nesting uses First-Fit Decreasing Height — a deterministic 2D bin-packing algorithm. Parts are sorted largest-first, placed on shelves, and every sheet reports real utilisation. Override any stock size per row and the count reflows automatically. Purchasing orders sheets that actually fit the job, not a safety factor pulled from the air.

  • FFDH algorithm
  • Per-sheet utilisation %
  • Waste visualised
03 · INFILL-AWARE

The spool, not the solid.

For additive parts, solid volume lies. IntelliBOM multiplies part volume by your configured infill percentage and material density to get the mass that actually extrudes. You pay for the plastic that leaves the spool — not the phantom solid inside a 30% infilled cube. Works per-part, rolls up through the assembly, cascades into material cost.

  • Per-part infill
  • Density-aware
  • Rolls up through tree
04 · COST BREAKDOWN

Material. Labor. Machinery. Per part. Per assembly.

Most “cost estimation” tools stop at material cost. IntelliBOM tracks material, labor, and machinery time separately for every part — then rolls all three up through the assembly hierarchy. Owners see the total. Manufacturers see the time. Designers see where a redesign actually moves the number. Finance, manufacturing, and design all read the same row.

  • Four cost axes
  • Hierarchical roll-up
  • One number, all roles
05 · MANUFACTURING ALLOWANCES · UNIQUE

The kerf the saw eats. The edge the nester skips. The waste no other BOM counts.

Every fabrication process removes or reserves material that never ends up in the finished part: saw kerf, laser cut-width, router bit diameter, sheet-edge margin, end trim, bandsaw squaring, support structure. IntelliBOM is the only Fusion BOM tool that tracks these manufacturing allowances per-part and folds them into stock requirements before the purchase list is generated. For LINEAR stock: kerf plus end trim per cut. For AREA stock: edge margin plus kerf between nested parts. For VOLUME stock: support overhead beyond infill. Set the defaults once per material in the library; override per row when a tool changes. Your buy quantity matches the shop’s consumption to the millimetre — no “ran out mid-job” because the BOM forgot about the 3 mm of wood every saw cut turns into dust.

  • Kerf per cut
  • End trim
  • Edge margin
  • Support overhead
  • Per-row override
  • Unique in Fusion BOMs
06 · BUILT FOR DESIGNERS · FRIENDLY + FAST

No scripts. No paths. Just the BOM button.

IntelliBOM is written for mechanical designers, not software engineers. One toolbar icon inside Fusion. One palette that docks where you want it. One click to export. No command line. No file-system paths. No configuration files to edit. And under the hood the compute engine walks a 500-part assembly in under 2.3 seconds — iteration feels instant, even on the largest projects your laptop has ever seen. BOM settings import and export live behind buttons in the palette, so moving your libraries between machines is two clicks, not a tutorial.

  • No scripts
  • No paths
  • One click
  • < 2.3 s compute
  • 500+ parts
  • Settings export / import
ITEM 03 · COMPARISON · FUSION / INTELLIBOM

Before IntelliBOM, and after.

Same assembly. Same click. A Fusion-native BOM export versus an IntelliBOM Engineering BOM — side-by-side, unretouched.

BEFORE · FUSION NATIVE BOM EXPORT
  • Duplicate part-name columns
  • Every bearing ball + roller exploded
  • Cryptic indexing, no hierarchy
AFTER · INTELLIBOM ENGINEERING BOM
  • Thumbnails + assembly structure
  • Colour-tagged MAKE / BUY / EXT
  • Costs + mass roll up correctly
