CAD = Computer Aided Design. The best known CAD program for LEGO bricks is LDRAW. LDraw is a system for 3D modelling of LEGO and other parts. The original program, as well as the file format used for the tool system were written by James Jessiman. The LDraw user community has furthered his work. Today many different programs have been built upon his original tool and use the same file format interchangably. There are LDraw editors and renderers for Windows and Linux, and Macintosh versions are under development.

The pictures and instructions on the Sp!oids web site were created with LDRAW and MLCAD. MLCAD is a nice graphical front end for LDRAW. Please contact me if you would like to receive the MLCAD files for the instructions on these pages.

If you want to 3d print Sploids the files and instructions are here.
