Open a blank workbook and navigate to the Data tab in the top ribbon

Select the Semicolon delimiter and then click Next.

Select the General column data format and then click Finish. Select cell A1 for where you want to put your data and then hit OK.

Once data is imported, right click the Volume column (H)

Then insert a new column in the spreadsheet

In the newly formed column which I've titled "Bounding Box (cm^3)" type the following equation

=((D2+5.5)*(E2+5.5)*(F2+5.5))/1000

Adding 5.5 mm to each of the sides of the bounding box accounts for the packing density needed on the machine

Excel will then automatically fill the column

Scroll down to the last cell of the bounding box column and remove the number that is there

With the cell highlighted, Click "AutoSum"

Scroll down to the last row of data where you'll see all the total data you need for PaperCut

Part(s) Volume(cm^3)

Part(s) Surface Area (cm^2)

Part(s) Bounding Box (cm^3)
