VolumeEstimate

VolumeEstimate provides an approximate volume for a part calculated from the extracted geometry. It records the numerical value, the unit, and the estimate type, which states how the figure was derived—currently an upper bound that ignores cavities. This information is useful for material usage planning, weight calculations, shipping cost projections, and pricing analysis. Because the estimate type is explicit, you can judge how conservative the figure is when sharing estimates with suppliers or customers and when validating results against ERP records or quotes. When combined with material data it can power carbon-footprint assessments.
