One of these days, I want to learn enough computer vision to write an LEGO instruction booklet to LCAD convertor that could be fed old instructions and generate a 3D model of the set. An archive of the instructions is nice, but a virtual archive of sets would be nicer.

I thought years ago Lego had a desktop program that let you build things with virtual bricks.

Then feed that model into a 3d printer and archive your built sets immutably in meatspace! :D
