Millimeters (mm) to Centimeters (cm) Converter

In drafting, textile design, and carpentry, dimensions often fluctuate between millimeters for precision and centimeters for layout. A difference of a decimal point defines whether a component fits or fails. This tool addresses the constant need to translate these neighboring metric units without mental friction.

The relationship is fixed: 10 millimeters make 1 centimeter. While seemingly simple, cumulative additions in blueprints or pattern making often introduce drift. Contractors on-site or designers adjusting CAD models need instant verification. This application provides a sterile environment for these calculations, logging your recent history to help you track multiple component dimensions simultaneously. It strictly handles floating-point mathematics to prevent the common computational errors found in basic calculator apps.

The conversion ratio is defined by the Latin prefixes milli (thousandth) and centi (hundredth).

This implies that the centimeter value is always one order of magnitude smaller than the millimeter value.
