This paper describes a new method to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) structures composed of a stimuli-responsive hydrogel. Using this method, 3D structures with internal gaps (ex. framed structure, hangout structure, etc.) can be printed directly in supporting viscous liquid and polymerized with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. We proposed the proper concentration of CMC aq, confirmed the gelation of printed ink and demonstrated fabrication of 3D structures with internal gaps.
