LeoCAD is a digital CAD program for Windows that allows users to build virtual LEGO models with precision and creativity.
Models
There is a wide selection of tools designed to construct LEGOs digitally. It is possible to visualize various ideas from thousands of components from the LDraw parts library. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to place, rotate and align bricks in three-dimensional space. Users can build anything from simple toys to complex mechanical projects.
Editing
The app supports timeline based animations, allowing you to bring all your models to life. Movements such as rotations, translations or part replacements can be programmed along a timeline to simulate mechanical operations. Visuals demonstrate how components interact in motion, which is especially useful for teaching physics or engineering concepts.
Furthermore, you are able to customize parts with different colors, textures and transparency settings. There are both educational and presentation tools that help you create model breakdown for your students as well. On top of that, you may try SPIKE LEGO to teach kids how to test and optimize objects.
