The term refers to three-dimensional models of the fictional monster Godzilla, designed for production using 3D printing technology. These models exist as digital files, often in formats such as STL or OBJ, which are compatible with various 3D printers. An example includes a detailed, articulated figurine ready for digital fabrication.
The appeal of these models lies in their accessibility and customizability. Enthusiasts can create personalized versions of the iconic creature, adjusting size, pose, and detail to suit their preferences. Historically, the creation and distribution of these files have been fueled by the growing availability of affordable 3D printers and online communities sharing designs.
The subsequent sections will examine the specific types of models available, the technologies used in their creation, considerations for successful printing, and the legal implications of distributing such designs.
