The 3DBenchy is a 3D computer model specifically designed for testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers. It is described by its creators Daniel Norée and Paulo Kiefe, at the time employees of 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-colour model released in July 2015.
Due to its status as a common benchmark, it is believed to be the world's most 3D printed object. The popular 3D printing website Thingiverse (where the model was originally uploaded) has the 3DBenchy marked as its most popular model of all time. The model itself is a tugboat design.
