It is still widely used in the lumber and woodworking industries to quantify and price wood volumes, especially in North America.
Cubic Millimeter
A cubic millimeter (mm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube measuring 1 millimeter on each side.
History/Origin
The cubic millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurements of small volumes, especially in fields like biology and materials science, as a subdivision of the cubic centimeter and cubic meter units.
Current Use
It is currently used in scientific research, medical measurements, and engineering to quantify small volumes accurately, particularly in microscopy, microfluidics, and material testing.
