Dear fellow digital builders,
I’m Henry Park, a member of BrickLink's tool development team.
I’d like to introduce MOC Builder, our new Digital LEGO builder, that was developed based on LDraw's library of virtual LEGO bricks. It allows you to build a virtual LEGO creation on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. It also helps you order real LEGO bricks to turn your virtual creation into a physical model. To make that possible, we added part connectivity on top of the LDraw library and integrated BrickLink's marketplace within the tool.
Here are key features of MOC Builder:
MOC Builder is an open source, free software. Any ideas, comments, or bug reports will be greatly appreciated. If you are a developer of existing tools on LDraw platform and wish to integrate your tools with MOC Builder, I’d love to hear any suggestions from you.
Please feel free to contact me.

MOC Builder can be download following link:

Thanks,
Henry Park
