一般快速原型系統，以層型加工為基本工作原理，已有許多種類硬體架構，在檔案輸入方面以STL為非制式標準的檔案格式。未來快速原型系統的其他應用，彩色快速原型系統為主要方向，將來可延伸到直接快速製造。然而以三維列印的架構下，可實現真彩模型，在檔案輸入方面，STL檔案格式已不敷提供彩色資訊，VRML97盛行網路上的三維模型檔案格式可提供其解決方案。
　　本論文提出硬體以及軟體的整合方式，以三維列印為主體，利用一般的二維彩色列印的噴印模組，結合程序控制的機構以及成型材料，接收來自PC端的列印資料，依預設層厚設定，層層堆積製作物件。軟體部分，將VRML97檔案讀入，針對三種色彩表示方式，將讀入的資料建立毗鄰關係成為訂定的拓蹼資料結構。經直接切層法則運算後，透過所提出的適性輪廓偏移後，再依據列印解析度進行次分割以及填滿區域的方式，來達成彩繪輪廓。利用Visual C++程式語言並使用OpenGL來進行以上演算的整合。本研究經由驗證結果可確定軟體資料輸出的正確性以及未來結合硬體的整合系統的可行性。

　　Generally, rapid prototype system, it bases the operation principle to process layer by layer, and has several kinds of hardware already. The input of STL file format has became the de facto standard in rapid prototyping. Other application of the rapid prototyping system of future, the colour rapid prototyping system is the main direction, can extend to rapid manufacturing directly in the future. With structure that three-dimensional printing, it can make the true colored model realized. The input in STL file format can not be applied and even provide colored information yet, VRML97 prevailed the three-dimensional model file form on the network can provide its solution .
　　This thesis proposes the hardware and software integrate method with the subject of the three-dimensional printing. The hardware utilizes ink-jet of general two-dimensional colored printer and combine the traversing mechanism with the procedure controls and model material, and pile up in accordance with default layer thickness. As concerning the part of the software, VRML97 file was read that define three ways to represent the color of appearance, and then building adjacency to store into the topology data structure. After the operation of direct slicing rule, the software utilize the adaptive offsetting to generate the color area, and then according to two-dimensional printing resolution to subdivide the points of the contours and to color region between two contours, via two ways of painting. Using Visual C ++ programming language and OpenGL library to implement the algorithm above. A rough color model is obtained after the practice on the 3D printer. It can confirm exactness that the software output and systematic feasibility of integrating the hardware in the future via the result of proving in this research.
