Interpreting the Calculated Volume
The figure given in the mass properties window is in cubic millimeters. Most
packaging designs are measured in milliliters.
To make the conversion, divide by 1000.
So, in this example, a volume of 336555 cubic millimeters is 336.5 milliliters.
Also, the volume measured is the external volume of the whole bottle. This
will include the liquid, the airspace at the top of the bottle and the thickness
of the plastic itself. Making an allowance of 25% is a good approximation of
the extra volume all these factors add to the desired product volume.
