Abstract	Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Stereolithography (SLA), plays a critical role in modern manufacturing. This paper offers a comparative analysis of FFF and SLA, focusing on their processes, advantages, limitations, and applications. FFF, which extrudes thermoplastic filaments to create objects layer by layer, is known for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and material versatility but has drawbacks like limited resolution and surface finish quality. Conversely, SLA uses a laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin, producing highly precise and detailed objects with smooth surfaces, albeit at higher costs and slower speeds. By examining these techniques using a 3D printed part, the study provides valuable insights for manufacturers, designers, and researchers to choose the optimal technology for specific needs, ultimately enhancing the understanding and application of these AM processes in various fields.
