The calculation, without hidden assumptions
“Volume calculator” searches often start with a shape rather than a unit conversion. MAXScanner keeps three common solids in one tool: rectangular boxes, cylinders and spheres. Each mode exposes only the geometry needed and returns surface area as a useful companion check.
How to use this calculator
Choose box, cylinder or sphere.
Enter the requested dimensions using one consistent linear unit.
Read cubic volume and the related surface-area measurement.
Where people use it
- •Tank and container planning
- •Packaging dimensions
- •Math and fabrication geometry
Example: cylinder r=2, h=10
Volume is π×2²×10 = 40π, about 125.664 cubic units. Total surface area is 2πr(r+h), about 150.796 square units.
What the result does not assume
- •All entered dimensions must use the same linear unit; volume is returned in its cubic form and surface area in square units.
- •This tool models ideal geometric solids, not wall thickness, fill level or irregular internal shapes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate box volume?+
Multiply length × width × height.
Does cylinder diameter work?+
Enter radius in this tool; radius is half the diameter.
Can I convert cubic feet to liters?+
Use the Volume Converter after calculating the geometric volume.

Keep the result connected to the real job
MAXScanner keeps the formula and assumptions beside the result so you can verify the number before using it in a drawing, estimate, specification, worksheet or document. Where a supplier, manufacturer, drawing or applicable standard owns a requirement, that source remains authoritative.
