LeoCAD – design virtual models you can build with LEGO bricks

LeoCAD is a Qt-based CAD program for creating virtual LEGO models.

LeoCAD is completely compatible with LDraw’s parts library.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Easy to use – intuitive interface that is designed to allow new users to start creating new models without having to spend too much time learning the application.
  • Rich feature set that enables experienced users to build models by using techniques that are more advanced.
  • Fully compatible with the LDraw Standard and related tools, and it reads and writes LDR and MPD files so that you can share and download models from the Internet. It also uses the LDraw parts library, which has over 10,000 different parts and continues to receive updates.
