Lego Builder Tool

The Lego Builder Tool provides a systematic way to translate physical dimensions into a concrete brick BOM and construction plan. It targets educators, students, hobbyists, and makers who need reliable brick counts and build steps without manual cataloging. The tool operates conceptually by accepting footprint dimensions and color or constraint inputs, then referencing a brick library to assemble a feasible parts list and a simple construction plan. This enables reproducible planning, cost awareness, and faster prototyping for classroom demonstrations or hobby projects.
It supports basic validation, color-aware counting, and optional symmetry constraints, exporting results as CSV or JSON BOMs. The approach emphasizes accessibility and pedagogy, enabling instructors to demonstrate resource management, geometric tiling, and iterative design while learners explore combinatorial possibilities with real-world materials. The output focuses on actionable data rather than rendering, ensuring compatibility with standard spreadsheets and inventory systems. Unique differentiators include color-aware counting, constraint-based tiling, and ready-to-export BOMs designed for quick classroom adoption and maker workflows. Use cases range from lesson-ready build plans to rapid prototype iterations for Lego-based exhibits, STEM projects, or after-school programs.
