CAD for LEGO

When have you ever wondered how the manufacturers of LEGO-compatible designers (also called L-designers) make assembly schemes and colorful visualizations for the packages of their sets? It turns out that there are entire systems for this purpose. These are quite powerful software applications, almost CAD, which, thanks to specialized functionality and built-in libraries, are able to make a model, a LEGO design, a phased assembly and visualization scheme much more efficiently than any non-specialized CAD system.



Such applications are not enough. Most of them are based on LDraw . In terms of basic functionality, they do not differ significantly, but specialized services for some are very well developed. Someone is betting on the possibility of exporting to AutoCAD and other CAD platforms, someone on the quality of visualization ... In general, CAD systems for LEGO are a whole world, and very serious. However, creating L-designs in applications is no less exciting than playing real LOGO. Especially since many of the LEGO-CAD systems are distributed free of charge.
