About Millimetres per Second
A millimetre per second (mm/s) is 10⁻³ m/s - the speed of slow industrial mechanisms and recognisable biological motion. FDM 3D printers move at 40-120 mm/s for perimeters and 150-300 mm/s for infill. Garden snails travel 0.5-1.5 mm/s; earthworms 3-5 mm/s. CNC finishing operations run 1-several hundred mm/s. Hydraulic precision slides work at mm/s for surface preparation. Ultrasound particle velocities in soft tissue are also in this range. 1 mm/s = 10⁻³ m/s.
About Inches per Minute
An inch per minute (in/min) ≈ 0.4233 mm/s - the standard North American machining feed unit for slow precision cuts. CNC milling in titanium or nickel superalloys: HSS roughing 2-8 in/min; carbide finishing 15-40 in/min. Thread-tapping feeds are calculated in in/min from pitch × RPM. Hydraulic press platen closure for rubber moulding and laminate pressing: 0.05-2 in/min. 1 in/min = 0.0254 m/min ≈ 4.233 × 10⁻⁴ m/s.
