The invention provides a rigid-flexible coupling driving 3D printing robot and a control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of 3D printing machinery. The 3D printing robot comprises a triangular support, a group of flexible cable supporting mechanisms, a group of flexible cable driving mechanisms, a hot bed lifting mechanism, an elastic supporting mechanism, a 3D printing head and an extruder, and the triangular support comprises a bottom plate, a group of supporting rods and a top plate which are fixedly connected in sequence; the upper surface of the bottom plate, the lower surface of the top plate and the three supporting rods jointly define a regular triangular prism space. The flexible cable driving mechanism and the flexible cable supporting mechanism are both installed on the upper surface of the top plate, a flexible cable in the flexible cable driving mechanism is supported and guided by the flexible cable supporting mechanism and fixedly connected with the side edge of a shell of the
