We can easily measure the weight of any designed model in Shapr3D. Steps are as follows :

Step 1- Select the model for which the weight is to be determined.  
Enter the solidification number on the calculator.

Step 2- multiply the number by the density of the required material (example:cast iron -7.2) .

Step 3 - Divide the obtained number by 1000(1kg=1000gm) .

And you have measured the weight of your 3d model .

I have been doing this with some parts to be made out of 6061 aluminum.  
It would be cool to designate the density factor to a body and have it display the weight in measurements.
