Currently, the content of 3D printing teaching experiments mostly focuses on introducing students to the basic workflow of 3D printing using commercially available polymers. However, these basic experiments often fail to expose students to cutting-edge new materials and overlook the underlying scientific questions of how these new materials can be combined with 3D printing technology. High-strength hydrogels, with their solvent-rich properties and excellent biocompatibility, have extensive prospects in various fields such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and flexible electronics. This experiment integrates the author’s recent scientific research achievements and instructs students to explore the rheological properties and swelling behavior of designated novel gel-based materials (hydrogels/organogels), effectively combining these gel-based materials with 3D printing technology, thereby gaining a more specific understanding of the processing methods of these advanced materials. The instructional design of this experiment enhances students’ in-depth understanding of Nobel Prize achievements, strengthens their awareness of applying their professional knowledge to serve national development needs, and cultivates their innovative spirit and teamwork consciousness in the face of exploration.
