Removing support material from rapid prototyping part fabricated by fused deposition modeling is required when the object is completed. Removing support material from rapid prototyping part system rapidly and efficiently is an important concern because the product life cycle is shorter than before. Effects of pH value and temperature of solution on the removal efficiency of support material were investigated in this study. Both pH value and temperature of the solution contribute to the removal efficiency of support material. The saving in the removing time of up to 83.4% is achieved by integrating two effects. The trend equation of y = 293.42x + 544.72 is capable of predicting the removing time. Removing time (y) can be predicted directly from the volume of support material (x). The error rate can be controlled within 5.11%. Surface roughness improvement rate of up to 46.3% is achieved using the solution with a pH value of 13 and a temperature of 95°C.
