Attribution
While working at Creative Tools, Daniel Norée designed the boat model as a benchmarking tool for 3D printers. Paulo Kiefe, CEO of Creative Tools until 2018, shared Norée’s enthusiasm for 3D printing, named the model “3DBenchy,” and established its online identity by creating 3DBenchy.com and uploading the STL file to 3D printing repositories.
