This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
Compensated dim = Design dim × (1 + shrinkage%)The calculation requires: Target Dimension (mm), Material. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.
