The LEGO Company has much better tools than LDraw. I remember a year or two
ago, they were posting job openings that required experience with a specific
high-end CAD/3D-modeling tool (maybe it was ALIAS? I don't remember for sure).
I'd assume that all of LEGO pieces have been modeled in a graphic-objects
database, especially the newer ones, where CAD tools would be used throughout
most of the design process, especially in the later stages, when the molds are
being designed and fabricated.
