There is more than one way to build with VEX IQ! See below for more information on how to download CAD Files, learn to CAD, or make your own parts!
CAD is available as a free download for every VEX IQ part. These files are in the universal STEP format, compatible with SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and most other CAD software packages. Design your robot virtually before actually building it!
SnapCAD is a community-built solution for designing virtual VEX IQ models and creating printable, shareable instructions for them. Use SnapCAD to test out a novel idea in the virtual world before building it physically, or to share your creations with the world in the form of step-by-step build instructions!
