Direct manufacturing process using 3D printing technologies is spreading rapidly in all fields. It is necessary to the study of studies of 3D printing systems with superior functions of various post processes at molding simultaneously in order to establish the 3D printing technologies as the general industrial products method. The particular expected functions are surface modification for coloring and improvement of the mechanical, electrical, chemical and biological properties. The development of full-color molding has been already developed using ink-jet-type paint system equivalent to the same mechanism of a printer used in the office as typical examples, respectively. On the other hand, the surface modification technologies have been applied in wide industrial field in order to control great various characteristics of hardness, wear resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and so on at arbitrary places of metal products using vacuum apparatus. So the surface modification technologies should be necessary applied to ABS resin product by 3D printer. In this study, our unique 3D printing system with multifunctional surface modification has been developed using our original micro air brush. For confirmation of our trial apparatus, surface modification simultaneously with modeling by 3D printer has been succeeded. Further, we succeeded in partially surface modification to control lubrication property as a typical mechanical property using our trial apparatus. Therefore, we could find great attractive possibility of realization of development of the innovative 3D printer with multifunctional surface modification. In this study we focus on the development of surface modification of full-color painting for ABS resin products using 3D printer.
