Experiential education is widely recognized as an effective teaching method for nurturing students’ problem-solving abilities and fostering innovative thinking through hands-on activities. Furthermore, the field of 3D printing of alloy materials has garnered significant attention in the realm of electrocatalysis. This paper aims to synergize experimental education with 3D printing of alloys, exploring its impact on students and educational outcomes. Initially, the paper introduces the importance and role of experimental education and the characteristics and potential applications of alloy materials. Subsequently, the potential utilization of 3D printing technology in the fabrication of alloys is discussed. To enhance students’ engagement, learning motivation, and scientific literacy, they actively participate in designing and conducting experiments. The primary objective of this research is to provide novel ideas and methodologies for educational practices, cultivating students’ scientific thinking and practical abilities. Additionally, it aims to foster a greater number of innovative talents in the field of materials science and engineering.
