About Cups
A cup = 8 fl oz = 16 tbsp ≈ 236.6 mL - the fundamental unit of American cooking. Almost every US recipe uses cups for dry and liquid ingredients. The US customary cup (236.588 mL) differs from the US legal cup (240 mL, used in nutrition labelling) and the metric cup (Australia/Canada: 250 mL). Kitchen sets come in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup sizes. 2 cups = 1 US pint.
About Cubic Millimeters
A cubic millimeter (mm³) is the volume of a cube with sides of one millimeter - equal to one millionth of a liter (0.001 mL). Despite its tiny size, the cubic millimeter is an essential unit in engineering and science. In medicine, red blood cell counts are reported per cubic millimeter of blood (a healthy adult has roughly 5 million red blood cells per mm³). In 3D printing and CNC machining, material volumes and tolerances are routinely specified in mm³. A single raindrop is roughly 50 mm³, and a grain of table salt approximately 0.1 mm³.
