The 3DBenchy is a 3D computer model specifically designed for testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers.[1] The 3DBenchy is described by its creator, Creative Tools, as "the jolly 3D printing torture-test" and was released (initially only in STL format) in April 2015, with a multi-part, multi-color model released in July 2015.[2][3][4]
Due to its status as a common benchmark, it is believed to be the world's most 3D printed object.[5] The popular 3d-printing website Thingiverse (where the model was originally uploaded) has the 3DBenchy marked as its most popular model of all time.[6] The model itself is a tugboat design, and, as with many 3D prints, actually floats in water given the right conditions in printing.
