Uniform model scaling
See how a uniform scale changes the dimensions and solid volume of a model.
Results
- Scaled X dimension
- 62.5 mm
- Scaled Y dimension
- 50 mm
- Scaled Z dimension
- 37.5 mm
- Solid volume multiplier
- 1.953125 ratio
Method
New dimension = original × scale ÷ 100. Solid volume multiplier = (scale ÷ 100)³.
Worked example
Example inputs
- Original X dimension
- 50 mm
- Original Y dimension
- 40 mm
- Original Z dimension
- 30 mm
- Uniform scale
- 125 %
Calculated outputs
- Scaled X dimension
- 62.5 mm
- Scaled Y dimension
- 50 mm
- Scaled Z dimension
- 37.5 mm
- Solid volume multiplier
- 1.953125 ratio
How to read the result
With these example inputs, Scaled X dimension is 62.5 mm. Use that value for the setting or decision named above, and read the other outputs as supporting checks.
Common mistake
Do not leave Original X dimension at the example value of 50 mm unless it matches your own measurement.
Assumptions and limits
Volume refers to solid geometry. Fixed walls, infill, supports and layer settings mean printed mass and time do not necessarily follow that multiplier.
