Can anyone suggest a way to calculate the Volume of an STL? As in how much silver will it take to cast a shape.
Thanks!

Export the solid to AutoCAD.
If you ant, send the file to my mail, maybe I can help you
I think both Netfabb basic and meshmixer will calculate volume.

You can do it with Aspire as well.
It is an undocumented feature that is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate so given the price of silver......
The answers to a lot of questions can be found at http://www.shopbottools.com/ShopBotDocs/ or http://support.vectric.com/
Steve, if you have Aspire, you can hi-lite your model and press CTRL+ALT+Shift+V and a pop-up window should come up with a close approximation, I think within about 1%. Keep your pointer arrow within the model itself...joe I see Adrian beat me to it...joe
The guy I’m helping has Aspire 3.5, CTRL+ALT+Shift+V does nothing...
Freddy. check your PM!

Use Ctrl-Shift-D in Aspire 3.5.
