Convert Cubic millimetres to Cubic centimetres
1 cubic millimetre is 0.001 cm³. One cubic millimetre is exactly 0.001 cubic centimetres.
One cubic millimetre is 0.001 cubic centimetres. To convert cubic millimetres to cubic centimetres, multiply by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by 0.001 or multiply by 1000. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Handbook 130. A millionth of a litre, because the millimetre is a thousandth of a metre and volume cubes the factor.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 130 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert cubic millimetres to cubic centimetres? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in cubic millimetres.
- 2.Multiply by 0.001 — that is how many cubic centimetres fit in one cubic millimetre.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 0.001, or multiply by 1000.
Worked example: 25 cubic millimetres to cubic centimetres
- Formula
- mm³ × 0.001 = cm³
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 0.001 = 0.03 cm³
- Answer
- 25 mm³ = 0.03 cm³
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

What is a cubic millimetre?
A millionth of a litre, because the millimetre is a thousandth of a metre and volume cubes the factor. A microlitre by another name, and the unit injection-moulding shot sizes are quoted in.
What is a cubic centimetre?
A thousandth of a litre, which makes it exactly a millilitre — the same volume under two names. Engine displacement uses cc and medicine uses ml for the identical quantity.
How many cubic centimetres are in a cubic millimetre?
One cubic millimetre is 0.001 cubic centimetres, exactly. Going the other way, one cubic centimetre is 1000 cubic millimetres. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a cubic millimetre.
