Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) pose significant challenges to recovery, often resulting in impaired function and quality of life. To address these challenges, nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are being developed as effective strategies to promote nerve regeneration by providing a supportive framework that guides axonal growth and facilitates reconnection of severed nerves. Among the materials being explored, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have emerged as promising candidates due to their unique properties. Their unique properties—such as high mechanical strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and favorable biocompatibility—make them ideal for applications in nerve repair. The integration of 3D printing technologies further enhances the development of GBMs-based NGCs, enabling the creation of scaffolds with complex architectures and precise topographical cues that closely mimic the natural neural environment. This customization significantly increases the potential for successful nerve repair. This review offers a comprehensive overview of properties of GBMs, the principles of 3D printing, and key design strategies for 3D-printed NGCs. Additionally, it discusses future perspectives and research directions that could advance the application of 3D-printed GBMs in nerve regeneration therapies.
