Convert Cubic millimetres to Cubic metres
1 cubic millimetre is 1.00e-9 m³. One cubic millimetre is exactly 1e-9 cubic metres.
One cubic millimetre is 1.0000 × 10^-9 cubic metres. To convert cubic millimetres to cubic metres, multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-9; to go the other way, divide by 1.0000 × 10^-9 or multiply by 1000000000. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and 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.

How do you convert cubic millimetres to cubic metres? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in cubic millimetres.
- 2.Multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-9 — that is how many cubic metres fit in one cubic millimetre.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 1.0000 × 10^-9, or multiply by 1000000000.
Worked example: 25 cubic millimetres to cubic metres
- Formula
- mm³ × 1.0000 × 10^-9 = m³
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 1.0000 × 10^-9 = 2.50e-8 m³
- Answer
- 25 mm³ = 2.50e-8 m³
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

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 metre?
Exactly a thousand litres, by the definition of the litre. The SI unit of volume, and how the rest of the world orders concrete.
How many cubic metres are in a cubic millimetre?
One cubic millimetre is 1.0000 × 10^-9 cubic metres. Going the other way, one cubic metre is 1000000000 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.
