How to Export a LEGO LDD as a 3D Model: 1 Minute to Transform Your LEGO Designs into 3D Models

Are you ready to turn your LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) creations into 3D models? Exporting a LEGO LDD file into a usable 3D format can open up endless possibilities for design and 3D printing. In this guide, we'll explore the essential steps to achieve that with ease.

Step 1: Open Your LEGO LDD Project

Begin by launching LEGO Digital Designer and opening the project you wish to export. Make sure your model is fully assembled and ready for export.

Step 2: Exporting the Model

To export your model, go to the 'File' menu and select the option to 'Export.' You will typically see the option to export as an LXF file or as a .OBJ file for 3D model formats.

Step 3: Choose Your Desired Format

If you are looking to use the model with 3D printing software, exporting as an .OBJ file is the most compatible choice.

Step 4: Importing into 3D Software

Once you've exported your model, you can now open your 3D modeling software, such as Blender or Tinkercad, and import the .OBJ file you just saved to manipulate it further or prepare it for printing.
