TOOL IDB-MEC-008

Mass from volume

Desktop only

Engineering tools are available only on desktop screens.

Mass from volume

Part mass from CAD volume and material density. For shipping weight, BOM cost, and validating prototype quotes.

Material density reference — g/cm³

Volume V

Material

Custom density (g/cm³)

Engineering notes

Use cases

Validate supplier's stated part mass against CAD volume.
Resin cost: cost = mass × $/kg. Add 5–10% for sprue/runner.
Check shipping: dimensional vs actual weight.

Notes

Glass-fibre filled grades are ≈20% heavier.
Foamed parts: actual mass ≈ 80% solid mass.
