The invention discloses a broadband wave-absorbing material based on 3D printing. The material is formed by sequentially stacking a dielectric layer and a reflecting layer from outside to inside, and has a periodic three-dimensional structure. The dielectric layer is composed of an organic resin binder, ceramic powder and a wave-absorbing agent, the dielectric layer is of a three-dimensional periodic array structure, structural units are cylinders, cuboids, prisms or prismatic tables, the number of layers is 2-3, and the structural units are coaxially stacked from small to large from outside to inside, and the reflecting layer is made of metal, ceramic or a high-molecular compound. The preparation method of the broadband wave-absorbing material comprises the following steps: establishing a model, preparing powder, and preparing the material through 3D printing. According to the novel three-dimensional structure metamaterial, the integral structural strength of the wave-absorbing material is effectively improved, the adjustability of the wave-absorbing performance of the material is greatly improved, the wave-absorbing frequency band is widened, meanwhile, the manufacturing process is simple, the production efficiency is high, and batch production can be achieved easily.
