How to Measure a Hexagonal Mold
Measure the Side Length
Measure one flat edge from corner to corner. All six sides should be equal in a regular hexagon.
Measure the Depth
Measure from the bottom to the desired fill level. Coasters: 0.5–1 cm. Tiles: 0.3–0.5 cm.
Calculate
Enter side length and depth above. The formula (3√3/2) × s² × D gives exact volume in ml.
Common Hexagon Resin Projects
Hexagon Coasters
5 cm sides at 0.5 cm = ~32.5 ml. Stunning in honeycomb arrangements.
Wall Tile Mosaics
8 cm sides at 0.3 cm = ~50 ml each. Mix colors for geometric art.
Geometric Art
15 cm sides at 1 cm = ~585 ml. Add alcohol inks or gold leaf.
Resin Calculator for Shapes
Volume formulas and resin calculations for every common mold shape.
Circle Resin Calculator
V = π × r² × D
Enter the diameter and depth. The resin calculator multiplies π × radius² × depth to get the volume in ml. Coasters, clock faces, and round trays use this formula.
Cylinder Resin Calculator
V = π × r² × H
Enter the diameter and height of your cylindrical mold. The formula calculates the volume for pillar molds, candle molds, vases, and pen holders.
Hollow Cylinder Resin Calculator
V = π × (R² − r²) × H
Enter the outer diameter, inner diameter, and height. Calculates resin for the wall only. Perfect for bangles, rings, and tube castings.
Rectangle Resin Calculator
V = L × W × D
The simplest formula. Length × width × depth in centimeters gives you the volume in milliliters. Trays, tabletops, and mold frames are rectangular.
Square Resin Calculator
V = S² × D
Measure one side and the depth. Since all sides are equal, the formula simplifies to side² × depth. Square coasters, tiles, and trivets use this.
Oval Resin Calculator
V = π × a × b × D
An oval uses π × semi-major axis × semi-minor axis × depth. Measure the longest and shortest diameters, divide each by 2, and multiply with π and depth.
Hexagon Resin Calculator
V = (3√3 / 2) × s² × D
Measure the side length of the hexagon. The area is (3√3 / 2) × side². Multiply by depth for the volume in cubic centimeters. Hexagon coasters and tiles use this formula.
Heart Shape Resin Calculator
V ≈ known mold volume
Heart molds are irregular. Fill your mold with water, measure the water in ml, then enter that as "known volume" in the resin calculator. This gives you the exact amount of epoxy resin needed.
Hexagon Resin Calculator FAQ
Common questions about calculating resin for hexagonal molds, coasters, and tiles.
Measure the side length and depth. The formula is V = (3√3/2) × side² × depth ≈ 2.598 × side² × depth.
A = (3√3/2) × s² ≈ 2.598 × s². A hexagon with 5 cm sides has an area of about 64.95 cm².
Measure one flat edge from corner to corner. All six sides should be equal in a regular hexagon.
5 cm sides at 0.5 cm = ~32.5 ml. Set of 6: prepare ~215 ml (including waste).
Yes. Hexagons tessellate perfectly. 8 cm sides at 0.5 cm = ~83 ml per tile.
Use the water method: fill mold with water, measure in ml, and enter as known volume.
