A standardized 3D test geometry and assessment protocol co-developed by Autodesk and Kickstarter for evaluating FDM 3D printer performance. The consolidated print model contains calibrated features designed to stress the slicer, extruder, and motion system to the point of failure, producing measurable witness features.

Use cases

• benchmark a new FDM 3D printer
• compare print quality between printers
• calibrate a 3D printer's slicer and motion system
• evaluate printer performance with different materials
• assess extruder and motion system limits

When to choose

• you need a standardized, community-recognized FDM printer benchmark
• you want a single consolidated test print covering multiple failure modes
• you are comparing multiple printers or materials with repeatable measurements

When to avoid

• you need SLA, SLS, or metal AM testing (not yet covered)
• you want a tool that diagnoses or fixes calibration problems rather than exposing them
• you need automated quantitative analysis rather than manual witness-feature inspection
