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
0 2 4 7 10 15+ g/cm³ 1.05
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.
