What It Is

Brick My World is an AI app for brick builders, provided by CJSTUDS, INC. Its core goal is to convert real-world objects, or users’ existing .obj, .usdz, and .gltf 3D models, into models that can be built with classic rectangular bricks, while generating PDF building instructions, a parts list, and LDraw files.

Core Capabilities

The workflow is divided into Snap It, Brick It, and Build It: users scan an object with an iOS device, and the system processes its geometry and textures using ARKit/ARCore, photogrammetry, voxelization, and AI optimization, then generates a brick-built structure. It supports adjustments to scale, detail, and color, and can create a parts wishlist via the BrickOwl API. LDraw export also makes it easy to continue editing in BrickLink Stud.io.

Pricing and Trial

Its business model is fairly straightforward: scanning desktop-sized objects, importing 3D models, and previewing results are free; users pay per project only when they actually want to build. A PDF instruction set plus parts list is priced at $11.99, with the first one at $4.99; an LDraw file is priced at $10.99, with the first one at $3.99; the full bundle of PDF, parts list, and LDR is priced at $16.99, with the first one at $5.99. There is no subscription, which is friendly for occasional creators.

Pros, Cons, and Limitations

The main advantages are its low barrier to entry and its complete workflow from scanning to parts list, making it especially suitable for MOC enthusiasts who want to quickly turn ideas into buildable plans. The drawbacks are that the main text indicates it is currently primarily for iOS, with Android still planned; the fidelity of complex curves, tiny structures, and colors/textures may be limited by scanning and voxelization. Features such as a lightweight editor, texture processing, marketplace, and dynamic instructions are still on the roadmap and should not be treated as existing functionality.

Data Privacy and Chinese-Language Environment

The terms state that users retain rights to uploaded content, but grant the company a license to use it to provide and improve the service, and allow access to photos, scans, or binary data for feature improvement and troubleshooting. Chinese-language support has not been disclosed, and supported payment methods are not specified. Accessibility from mainland China is unknown; if stable access is not available, traditional brick design tools such as BrickLink Studio may be worth considering as alternatives.
