Starting February 1st, visitors to /ldd will be redirected to BrickLink Studio. Additionally, it will no longer be possible to download LDD from after end-January. However, the software won’t be updated or maintained. Fans with a current desktop version of LDD can continue using this program. This means that after the end of January, it will no longer be possible to download the program from /ldd. We’ll continue to support the digital building community by focusing on BrickLink Studio, while LDD will be retired.

The BrickLink Studio software brings an integrated and excellent experience of designing, building, ordering bricks and sharing digital designs. We are focusing 100% of our efforts on one building software. As a result, LDD will no longer be available for download after January 31, 2022. The LEGO Group is committed to supporting the digital building community and, as such, will focus on Studio and will withdraw support for LDD.

Currently, the LEGO Group maintains two public 3D building programs: BrickLink Studio and LEGO® Digital Designer, known as LDD. At the end of January 2022, BrickLink Studio will be the LEGO Group’s only public digital building software program, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to build models with an endless bin of bricks.
