PURPOSE: A media based system forming 3D objects is provided to use color information embedded in a 3D computer based model in computing environment, thereby generating physical rendering which an accurate color for the model is implemented. CONSTITUTION: A media based system distinguishes a 3D model and determines a medium which a physical object is generated(700,702). The media based system slices the 3D model based on the medium up to the number of cross section segments by a slicing unit of a disintegration system and converts the cross section segments of the model into page images(704,706). The media based system generates an ordered stack of page images and prints the page images by a printing system(708,710). The media based system layers and trims the page images(712).
