    To study the influence of rock fracture characteristics with different inclination angles, the notched semi-disk bending (NSCB) specimens were prepared based on the 3D printing technology for experiments on typeI static fracture characteristics of rock mass. Specifically, the straight-cut groove half-disc bending specimens (NSCB) with crack angles were prepared by 3D printing technology to investigate the influence of different pre-fabricated crack angles on rock fracture characteristics. Furthermore, the printed specimens were placed in dry ice and subjected to quasi-static three-point bending tests when their surface temperature reached -30℃ after the solidification and baking treatments. The experiment revealed the influence of pre-fabricated crack angles on fracture toughness, initiation angle, and fracture energy. The results show that the average fracture toughness of NSCB specimens containing fissures is smaller than that of standard NSCB specimens. The fracture toughness of specimens is positively correlated with the fissure inclination angle. For NSCB specimens containing fissures, the initiation angle increases with the increase of the fissure inclination angle when β is between 0° and 90°, and the crack propagation path shows a distinct ‘deflection’ phenomenon. The fissure inclination angle significantly impacts the complexity of the NSCB specimen propagation path. The crack propagation path becomes more complex when the fissure inclination angle and fractal dimension increase. From the perspective of fracture energy, the fracture energy increases with the increase of the fissure inclination angle.
