THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Geometric liquid inventory only; follow product instructions for compatibility, cure, mixing and handling. Loss is a fraction of prepared material that does not reach the cavities.
Start with your inputs
Enter miniature mold cavity volumes (ml), embedded object displacement (ml), measured transfer loss (%), maximum prepared batch (ml). Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Miniature mold cavity volumes (mL) | 20,30 |
| Embedded object displacement (mL) | 2,3 |
| Measured transfer loss (%) | 10 |
| Maximum prepared batch (mL) | 25 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, net cavity fill (ml) is 45. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Net cavity fill (mL) | 45 |
| Prepared volume including transfer loss (mL) | 50 |
| Batch count | 2 |
How this is calculated
Net cavity fill (mL)
Subtract embedded displacement from cavity volume.
Prepared volume including transfer loss (mL)
Divide net fill by retained fraction.
Batch count
Round required prepared volume up to batch capacity.
Symbols and units

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Geometric liquid inventory only; follow product instructions for compatibility, cure, mixing and handling. Loss is a fraction of prepared material that does not reach the cavities.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Net cavity fill (mL); Prepared volume including transfer loss (mL); Batch count. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Geometric liquid inventory only; follow product instructions for compatibility, cure, mixing and handling. Loss is a fraction of prepared material that does not reach the cavities.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
