A slicing and printing method for colour 3D physical model with protective film is provided. The method executes a slicing process to colour 3D object data for generating multiple layers of object slice data and colour slice data, generate multiple layers of body slice data and multiple layers of protection slice data according to multiple layers of the object slice data, manufacture multiple layers of body slice physical models according to multiple layers of the body slice data, color each layer of the manufactured body slice physical model according to the same layer of the colour slice data, and use light-transmissive print materials to manufacture multiple layers of protection slice physical models according to multiple layers of the protection slice data. The method can effectively make the manufactured colour 3D physical model be with light-transmissive protective film, and prevent the colour 3D physical model from decolorization.

A 3D printer including a device body () and a scanning module () is provided. A printing plane () is defined on the device body (). The scanning module () is arranged on the device body (), the scanning module () is electrically connected with a control module (), and the control module () is electrically connected with a nozzle assembly () and a pen assembly (). A 3D data is loaded in the control module () and a predetermined painting position is defined in the 3D data. The control module () receives a scan image from the scanning module (); the control module () controls the nozzle assembly () to print a model () according to the 3D data and meanwhile controls the pen assembly () to paint on the model () according to the predetermined painting position and the scan image.
