About:
LeoCAD is a cross-platform CAD application specifically designed for building virtual models with LEGO bricks. It provides a comprehensive library of parts from the LEGO system and supports LDraw standard file formats. The software enables detailed model creation, rendering, and animation for hobbyists and designers.
Key Features:
  • Extensive LEGO part library with accurate brick models
  • Support for LDraw file format (.ldr, .mpd) and LDRAW standards
  • Advanced rendering capabilities with camera and lighting controls
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Model animation and step-by-step building instructions
Use Cases:
  • Designing custom LEGO models and MOCs (My Own Creations)
  • Creating building instructions for LEGO projects
  • Virtual LEGO building and experimentation without physical bricks
Alternatives:
  • BrickLink Studio – Studio offers integrated parts sourcing and pricing but LeoCAD provides more direct LDraw workflow compatibility
  • LDCad – LDCad is another LDraw editor with advanced flexibility, while LeoCAD offers a more modern UI and easier learning curve
