3DBenchy Enters the Public Domain
“3DBenchy, a 3D model [of an adorable little boat] designed specifically for testing and benchmarking 3D printers, is now in the public domain.”
Originally released on April 9, 2015, by Creative Tools, the model has become a beloved icon of the 3D printing community. […] NTI has decided to release 3DBenchy to the world by making it public domain, marking its 10th anniversary with this significant gesture.
Mark your calendars for April 9, 2025, as 3DBenchy celebrates its 10th anniversary! A special surprise is planned for the 3DBenchy community to commemorate this milestone.
