Building digitally provides a host of advantages over physical building: 

It’s free!

You can start building anything you imagine without investing hundreds or thousands of dollars in loose bricks. Digital building is available to anyone with a computer, regardless of budget. 

Only buy the parts you’ll use

Building digitally first gives you an exact parts list for a physical build. This can save money by avoiding bulk purchases of parts that end up sitting unused in the basement.

No Extra Space Needed

Digital building requires no storage for loose bricks and no shelves for finished models. This makes it ideal for builders with limited space or shared living areas, such as apartments, roommates, or young children. You don’t need a dedicated build room to create complex designs.

No set up or clean up

When you finish building, there are no loose parts to sort or reorganize. This makes it quick to start a session and easy to stop when you’re done. Digital building works well for people with limited time or those who don’t enjoy constantly sorting.

Digital models are good business

Digital models can be easily converted into building instructions and sold on platforms like Rebrickable.com. Custom set designers rely on digital builds to prototype ideas quickly and share concepts with clients before purchasing physical parts or investing in exhaustive parts libraries.
