Shrinkage Compensation Calculator
Turn a designed and measured calibration dimension into a corrected target scale.
Calibration dimension
Compensation result
Corrected design dimension102.0408 mm
102.041% scale relative to measured result
- Observed shrinkage
- 2%
- Retained dimension
- 98%
- Required scale
- 102.041%
- Corrected design dimension
- 102.0408 mm
Compensation assumes the observed scale error repeats linearly in the same axis, material and process. Calibrate X, Y and Z separately where necessary.
