Filament Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Filament Density (FD) is:

\[ FD = \frac{W}{VF} \]

Where:

\( FD \) is the filament density (g/mm³)
\( W \) is the weight of the printed object (grams)
\( VF \) is the volume of filament used (mm³)

What is Filament Density?

Filament density refers to the mass per unit volume of the filament material used in 3D printing. It is an important parameter that affects the strength, durability, and overall quality of the printed object. Knowing the density of the filament helps in calculating the amount of material needed for printing and ensuring the consistency of the final product.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Weight of Printed Object (W) = 50 grams
Volume of Filament Used (VF) = 20000 mm³

Using the formula to calculate the Filament Density:

\[ FD = \frac{50}{20000} = 0.0025 \text{ g/mm}^3 \]

The Filament Density is 0.0025 g/mm³.
