傳統浮雕製作耗時且成本昂貴，近年來各種先進的2D影像資料擷取技術與設計軟硬體技術，以及快速模具等技術之成熟，因此若能利用快速原型系統加上平面影像轉換浮雕之軟體技術，即可將2D影像資料快速地製造成立體浮雕，創造屬於個人化的商品和藝術品。

　　本論文提出軟體研發以及硬體驗證的整合方式。軟體研發部分，將一般影像BMP檔案讀入，影像的灰階會因為光線照射會有深淺明暗的不同，每一個像素點的灰階可以看成是立體曲面上的資料，定義每一像素高度值。利用切層演算法去選取每一切層的平面，經由像素顏色的比對，可找出彩色切層的像素，經由輸出，可製作出彩色浮雕。利用Visual C++程式語言並使用OpenGL來進行以上的演算。硬體驗證部份以三維列印為主體，利用一般二維列印的噴印模組，結合程序控制的機構以及成型村料，接收來自PC端的列印資料，層層堆積製作物件。本研究經由驗證成功的製造淺浮雕成品，可確定軟體資料輸出的正確性及結合硬體整合系統的可行性。

　　Traditional 3D low relief technique are both costly and time-consuming. However, in recent years, due to the availability of various sophisticated 2D image processing software and rapid tooling techniques, it can be made by rapid prototyping through the use of image-3D relief conversion software. One can use 2D image data to rapidly produce 3D relief, creating his personal styled products and art works.

　　This dissertation demonstrates a software-hardware integration technique of rapid prototyping. BMP format images can be processed by this new developed software. Different levels of darkness are shown on its grey-level which is also used to represent information of 3D surface by defining the height of each pixel. Establish the model slicing algorithm to obtain each plane of cross section, and these data will be transferred to rapid prototyping for relief manufacturing. The pixels of colored slices can also be found by comparing the colors of the pixels which will further allow colorful 3D relief fabrication. Visual C++ and OpenGL are used to perform the calculation. Hardware verification has also been done by using 3D printer. The results of the verification of the software and hardware integration show the relief can be made successfully, and the colorful relief software is also established to be verified in the future.
