Calculate Volume of toolpath

[tsikows]

Hey guys, Im looking for a function or some sort of walk around to figure the volume of a series of pockets I will be cutting in wood. The Calculation will be used to mix the appropriate amount of resin for an inlay. Does cambam have a function that could accomplish this?

I made it into a plugin some time ago here; http://www.atelier-des-fougeres.fr/Cambam/Aide/Plugins/Area.html

You would have to calculate volume manually by multiplying this area calculation by the depth of the pocket

Eddy, thats exactly what im looking for. so just to clarify, if it calculates the area of my pocket at 1.75^2, I multiply it by the depth of my pocket which is 0.135". so the volume would be .23 sq in if im understanding correctly.

I use that tool when building molds for epoxies and silicones.  But every once in a while, I decide to 'confirm' my calculations.

VERY dry sand, a 'screed' to level it, and a graduated cylinder do that for me well.  Any grains left in the 'mold' can be easily blown out with air.

not quite;

1.75  square inches * 0.135 inches = 0.23625 cubic inches ( 0.24 cu in )
