Upload an STL, OBJ, GLB/glTF, or PLY and BrickSolvr turns it into a physically buildable stud-brick model—entirely in your browser. Compare the original and brick versions in 3D, tune size, colors, and brick inventory, then export an exact parts list and follow a layer-by-layer build guide. Free, private, and no signup: your model never leaves your device.
I built BrickSolvr because most “turn this model into bricks” tools stop at a blocky preview. I wanted the result to be something you could actually build.
BrickSolvr takes an STL, OBJ, GLB/glTF, or PLY and:
• solves a stable brick layout with no floating sections
• lets you limit colors and brick sizes to what you own
• gives you an exact parts list and CSV export
• walks you through the build layer by layer
Everything runs locally in your browser—there’s no upload, account, install, or cost.
Meanwhile, I’m exploring a WebXR mode for stepping inside and viewing the complete brick project in VR, image-to-brick conversion, and optional cloud processing for very large models.
I really like the idea, it's a fun one! I think you should use other models than the brick one to advertise it, it would make it clearer that it turns any model into a brick version otherwise people could get stuck on just everything being a brick and it doesn't sell the concept as well. Maybe later, the starter model for the website could be randomly selected from a collection?
Have you considered adding a budget-friendly mode that suggests common brick substitutions like 2x3 instead of 1x6 plates when stock parts are limited? Would really help builders working with mixed collections get to a buildable model faster.
