Inspiration

To make metal weight calculations fast, precise, and accessible to engineers, fabricators, and hobbyists.

What it does

It computes the weight of various metal shapes/materials based on user inputs (dimensions, density, material).

How I built it

By programming the formulas for standard shapes and densities into a web interface so users input values and get results instantly.

Challenges I ran into

Handling different shapes and units, validating input, and ensuring the formulas are correct across all cases.

Accomplishments that I’m proud of

Delivering a reliable, easy-to-use calculator that reduces manual errors and speeds up design and quoting workflows.

What I learned

The importance of unit handling, UI clarity, and edge-case validation in engineering tools.

What’s next for Website APP

Adding more materials and shapes, unit conversion support, bulk calculations, and exporting results (CSV/PDF).
