On April 22, 2019, we changed our web domain from crossbeamstoy.com to buildcrossbeams.com to better reflect Crossbeams status as a building system, and not as a toy. Everything works as before, and the old domain redirects to the new one. Check it out!
Contest deadline is today! Can you design a train in time?
Don't forget, our Crossbeams Modeller is now web-based (and still free downloadable).
