Filament
Support Material Estimator
Estimate support material mass and allowance from supported volume, density, interface overhead, and a material-loss reserve.
How the calculation works
Estimated mass = support volume × density × (1 + interface allowance) × (1 + reserve).
How to use this result
Use measured or slicer-reported support volume where possible. This estimator is useful for comparing orientations; it does not replace a slicer’s final support generation.
