Build a toy from blocks. Print it with joints that move.

Cubie is an editor that runs in your browser. Place blocks, press Assembly, and it cuts your toy into parts with snap-in joints. Then download a 3MF or STL file for your printer. No CAD, no glue, no screws.

Watch one toy go from the first block to the print bed.

Ninety seconds in the real editor: blocks, Assembly, a texture, a spring, a pose and a file for the printer.

Make a toy that moves in four steps.

  1. 01 / 04

    Place blocks where you want them.

    Add a block with a tap on the grid, stack more on top, and take one away with Break.

  2. 02 / 04

    Press Assembly and get the joints.

    Cubie finds where parts meet, cuts them apart and puts a snap-in joint in every seam.

  3. 03 / 04

    Bend it before you print it.

    Hold Spin to turn a part on its joint, hold Flex to bend it. You see how it moves before you spend any plastic.

  4. 04 / 04

    Download a file your slicer knows.

    Print gives you a 3MF for Bambu Studio or Orca, or an STL. Tick Kit frame to get every part on one plate.

Choose how every part moves.

Joints, a spring, hands, feet, a loop and a face on one robot. Move the cursor across it to turn it.

Spot a Cubie by its orange block.

The mark is one block drawn in three faces: sun on top, orange in front, shade on the side. The wordmark is built from the same square blocks as the toys, and the page uses the fonts of the editor.
