Filament Length Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Filament Length (FL) is:

\[ FL = \frac{M}{D \times A} \]

Where:

\( FL \) is the filament length (cm)
\( M \) is the filament mass (grams)
\( D \) is the density (g/cm³)
\( A \) is the cross-sectional area (cm²)

What is Filament Length?

Filament length refers to the total length of a filament used in 3D printing or other applications. It is an important measure for determining how much material is available or required for a particular project. The filament length can be calculated based on the mass of the filament, its density, and its cross-sectional area.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Filament Mass (M) = 1000 grams
Density (D) = 1.24 g/cm³
Cross-Sectional Area (A) = 0.07 cm²

Using the formula to calculate the Filament Length:

\[ FL = \frac{1000}{1.24 \times 0.07} = \frac{1000}{0.0868} \approx 11521.56 \text{ cm} \]

The Filament Length is approximately 11521.56 cm.
