What this calculator does

Calculates 3D Printing Infill Density to Part Weight & Filament Grams Sizer using the formula verified against the cited source.

What your result means

An estimate from the inputs you enter, within the scope stated below — not advice.

Formula

Mass = model volume × [shell fraction + (1 − shell fraction) × infill fraction] × material density

The step-by-step working for your own numbers appears with the result above and in the PDF report.

Frequently asked questions

Symbols and assumptions

Inputs
The values entered in the fields above
  • • Ideal shell/infill mass=actual model envelope volume×[shell fraction+(1−shell fraction)×infill fraction]×material density. Both fractions are0–1, and shell fraction is referenced to the full model volume.

  • • The original shell+infill expression double counts the shell region at high infill. Replace bounding-box volume with actual model volume and define solid top/bottom/shell share. Supports, brim, purge and overlap are extra; actual material usage needs sliced geometry and material density.100% infill must not exceed full-solid mass in this ideal model.

Important limitation

This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
