Nikko Industries – Fan Art 3D Model Collection

About This Site

Nikko Industries (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a fan-driven platform dedicated to celebrating the creativity and passion of the 3D printing community. This website contains a curated collection of fan-made 3D models inspired by popular fictional universes, characters, and franchises. These digital files are only available for download and intended for personal, non-commercial 3D printing use, except where explicitly marked as commercial-use authorized original designs.

We do not sell physical merchandise, nor do we claim any official affiliation with the intellectual property (IP) rights holders of the works that inspire our fan art.

Fair Use and Artistic Expression

All content on this site is created and shared under the principles of transformative fair use, parody, and artistic reinterpretation. The models featured here are:

  • Original works of fan art
  • Created for educational, decorative, and expressive use
  • Not direct copies or scans of licensed products
  • Designed solely for hobbyist, non-commercial 3D printing (unless otherwise stated)

We believe these models qualify for protection under Fair Use doctrine (17 U.S. Code § 107) and similar international copyright standards due to their non-commercial, transformative, and commentary-oriented nature.

Commercial License for Original Works

Nikko Industries also offers a selection of original 3D model designs that are clearly marked as authorized for commercial use. Users who purchase and download these commercially licensed files may produce and sell physical 3D prints in accordance with our commercial license terms.

However, this commercial license does not extend to models inspired by third-party intellectual property. Any attempt to commercially produce or sell physical prints based on fan art related to existing IPs is done at the user’s own risk. Nikko Industries does not authorize, encourage, or assume any legal responsibility for such use.

  • Nintendo / Pokémon Company
  • Sony / PlayStation
  • Hasbro / Transformers / G.I. Joe
  • Microsoft / Halo
  • Capcom / Square Enix / Sega
  • And other globally recognized IP holders

Nikko Industries does not claim any ownership or licensing rights to these intellectual properties. Our work is a form of artistic tribute, not commercial exploitation.

No Commercial Use or Resale of IP-Based Fan Art

Unless a file is explicitly labeled as commercially licensed, the digital files available on this site are licensed strictly for personal use only. You may not:

  • Sell or resell IP-based fan art files
  • Sell physical prints made from IP-based fan art files
  • Upload IP-based models to third-party marketplaces

Doing so would violate our terms of service and may infringe on third-party IP rights. Users who choose to do so do so at their own discretion and risk.
