Expected Tolerance (±)
0.31 mm
Shrinkage Amount
0.06 mm
How to Use This Calculator
- Select your printer type (FDM or resin SLA/MSLA) and filament or resin material.
- Enter the nominal design dimension (mm) that requires a precise fit.
- Review expected dimensional tolerance (±mm) and the resulting min/max dimension range.
- Use the compensated design size output to adjust your CAD model to achieve the target fit.
- Print a test coupon at the compensated size and measure before committing to final parts.
