What is the relationship between milliliters and cubic millimeters?

One milliliter is equal to one thousand cubic millimeters, based on metric volume definitions.

When should I use cubic millimeters instead of milliliters?

Cubic millimeters are best used for very small volumes where higher precision is necessary, such as in microfluidics or cell imaging.

Does temperature affect the conversion between milliliters and cubic millimeters?

While the conversion is exact mathematically, actual volume measurements can be influenced by temperature and pressure, affecting accuracy.
