The invention discloses a ceramic part 3D (three dimensional) printing method based on a photocuring adhesive. In a first curing system, a photosensitive resin-based adhesive solidifies quickly under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, bonds powder so as to take shape and has high curing efficiency; only when the photosensitive resin-based adhesive encounters the ultraviolet light, the photosensitive resin-based adhesive solidifies; and as the photosensitive resin-based adhesive is not likely to encounter the ultraviolet light in a spray nozzle, the photosensitive resin-based adhesive is not likely to solidify and block the printing spray nozzle. In a second curing system, an epoxy resin-based adhesive can also solidify quickly by adding polymercaptan serving as a solidification triggering agent; and as the epoxy resin and the polymercaptan triggering agent are in different spray nozzles and do not contact with each other, the epoxy resin-based adhesive is not likely to solidify and block the spray nozzle. As the adhesives of the dual curing systems are resin-based adhesives and no water is added all the time in the preparation process, the adhesives of the dual curing systems can be used for bonding water-solubility ceramic powder; and the green bodies of ceramic parts formed by the dual curing systems have very high strength and forming accuracy.
