The present invention discloses a photosensitive resin, which includes a precursor containing active functional groups, a precursor containing thiol groups, and a light-activated catalyst. The active functional groups are selected from aldehyde groups, carbonyl groups, or hindered unsaturated double bonds. The present invention also discloses a method for closed-loop recycling and circular 3D printing of the photosensitive resin, which includes the following steps: the photosensitive resin is irradiated by the light source of a photopolymerization 3D printing device to obtain a 3D printed product; the 3D printed product to be recycled is dissolved, and after dissolution, depolymerization occurs to generate oligomers or monomers with terminal groups of thiol and active functional groups. A neutralizing reagent is then added to form the recycling system; the light-activated catalyst is reintroduced into the recycling system, and a new photosensitive resin is prepared for circular 3D printing. This photosensitive resin can achieve closed-loop recycling and multiple cycles of photopolymerization 3D printing, with mild recycling conditions and complete resource utilization of waste.
