BrickMesh ^[alpha]

There was a major update under the hood. Now BrickMesh is able to fully decompose your upload into pieces and re-assemble it again. This means for more complicated pieces like a minifig upper body the most appropriate combination will be mapped.

The first version of the BrickMesh demo is available online. Please try it to order bricks for your models. Features:

• Reads LEGO® Digital Designer files.
• Easy conversion of your model to a wanted list.
• Knows over 2000 bricks. This covers most brick categories, but not all.
• Knows about 100 colors.
• Estimates the weight of your order.

Planned improvements:

• Read the LDraw format.
• Read the wanted list format.
• Support adding and subtracting lists or models.
• Support for almost all LDD bricks.

Rebrickable is by far the most popular source of LEGO® creations over the net. It has plenty of high quality MOCs from top model designers. You can find free and paid models, large and small in various themes.

EuroBricks has its own collection of selected LDD models that are available for download.

Last but not least, you can use your favorite search engine to discover LDD models all over the web.

BrickMesh is a tool to order real LEGO® bricks for your digital models. It supports LEGO Digital Designer models and turns them into a BrickLink wanted list. You can use BrickLink to find the best shops for the list.

The beauty of LEGO® is that people can find amazing things that you never expected. However, ordering bricks for aftermarket models continues to be difficult for non-hardcore enthusiasts. BrickMesh tries to make this easier.

Yes, LEGO® Digital Designer is still supported. There were rumors that LEGO® does not support it any more. After a long hiatus 4.3.9 was released on March 14, bringing in long awaited part updates and bug fixes.

There are other good editors, a lot of them based on the LDraw part library, such as LDCad, MLCad and BrickSmith. These are not supported at the moment, but we plan to add support in the near future if there is sufficient demand.

We encourage you to download LEGO Digital Designer and build your own. You can also get a few ideas on the Discover page.

It knows about 100 colors and over 1000 parts. New parts are added all the time.

BrickMesh has its own part database and logic that is open source. The source is available on GitHub:

It will not work for large models containing a lot of bricks.

We use Google Analytics to track the usage of the website itself. We may also keep uploaded LDD models for up to 180 days so that parts and colors with incomplete information can be fixed. Your models will be deleted after that. Your data is private, BrickMesh will never make the models available to third parties.
