Behind the Shine: How Metal Bricks Are Made
From Raw Material to Precision Piece
Every premium metal brick starts with a solid block of raw material—aluminum, brass, copper, or stainless steel. Unlike plastic, which is injection-molded, our bricks are cut with CNC machines to achieve exact dimensions. This ensures a perfect fit with standard LEGO® pieces while giving each brick a solid, premium weight.
The Craft of CNC Machining
Our process begins with high-precision CNC machining, where each brick is carefully milled down to within fractions of a millimeter. This level of craftsmanship guarantees that our durable LEGO-style bricks snap together just as seamlessly as traditional plastic pieces. The difference? A satisfying heft and shine you can see and feel.
Finishes That Elevate
Once shaped, the bricks go through finishing. Each piece is polished, brushed, or anodized, depending on the design. A brushed aluminum brick feels modern and industrial, while a polished brass brick gleams with luxury. These finishes don’t just look good...they also protect the brick and enhance its durability.
Strength That Lasts a Lifetime
Unlike standard plastic bricks, metal bricks don’t bend, fade, or wear down with time. Whether you’re displaying them as collectibles or incorporating them into custom builds, they hold their look and structural integrity for years. That’s why they’re not just high-quality building toys, but heirloom pieces for collectors and builders alike.
A Blend of Art and Engineering
Making a metal brick is more than just machining...it’s about blending engineering precision with artistic craftsmanship. Every cut, every polish, and every finish is designed to give builders something unique: bricks that combine functionality, beauty, and durability.
