Convert US cups to Cubic millimetres
1 US cup is 236,588.24 mm³. One US cup is exactly 236588.2365 cubic millimetres.
One US cup is 236588.24 cubic millimetres. To convert US cups to cubic millimetres, multiply by 236588.24; to go the other way, divide by 236588.24 or multiply by 4.2268 × 10^-6. 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. Eight US fluid ounces, about 236.6 ml.

What is a US cup?
Eight US fluid ounces, about 236.6 ml. The "legal" cup on nutrition labels is a rounded 240 ml.
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.
How many cubic millimetres are in a US cup?
One US cup is 236588.24 cubic millimetres. Going the other way, one cubic millimetre is 4.2268 × 10^-6 US cups. 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.
