When this helps
Calculate separate axis scales and the remaining-size percentages used by shrinkage settings. Start with Target X dimension; this calculator reports X compensation scale.

Dimensional compensation
Calculate separate axis scales and the remaining-size percentages used by shrinkage settings.
Results
- X compensation scale
- 101.010101 %
- Y compensation scale
- 100.502513 %
- Z compensation scale
- 100 %
- X remaining-size percentage
- 99 %
- Y remaining-size percentage
- 99.5 %
- Z remaining-size percentage
- 100 %
Method
Compensation scale = target ÷ measured × 100%. Remaining-size percentage = measured ÷ target × 100%.
Worked example
Example inputs
- Target X dimension
- 100 mm
- Measured X dimension
- 99 mm
- Target Y dimension
- 100 mm
- Measured Y dimension
- 99.5 mm
- Target Z dimension
- 100 mm
- Measured Z dimension
- 100 mm
Calculated outputs
- X compensation scale
- 101.010101 %
- Y compensation scale
- 100.502513 %
- Z compensation scale
- 100 %
- X remaining-size percentage
- 99 %
- Y remaining-size percentage
- 99.5 %
- Z remaining-size percentage
- 100 %
How to read the result
With these example inputs, X compensation scale is 101.010101 %. Use that value for the setting or decision named above, and read the other outputs as supporting checks.
Common mistake
Do not leave Target X dimension at the example value of 100 mm unless it matches your own measurement.
Assumptions and limits
These are different settings: Orca uses one shared XY shrinkage field, not separate X and Y fields. Use comparable material and profiles; this does not diagnose the cause or change motor steps.
