Filament Density Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Filament Density.
FD = W / VF
- Where FD is the Filament Density (g/mm^3)
- W is the weight of the printed object (grams)
- VF is the volume of filament used (mm^3)
How to Calculate Filament Density?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Filament Density.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the weight of the printed object (grams).
- The weight of the printed object (grams) is given as: 20.
- Next, determine the volume of filament used (mm^3).
- The volume of filament used (mm^3) is provided as: 10.
- Finally, calculate the Filament Density using the equation above:
FD = W / VF
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
FD = 20 / 10 = 2 (g/mm^3)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
weight of printed object (grams) = 19
volume of filament used (mm^3) = 431
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
FD = W / VF = ?
