Facts about the Millimeter
A millimeter is one-thousandth (1/1000) of a meter in the metric system.
Used in precision fields since the early adoption of the metric system, the millimeter is essential for detailed and small-scale measurements.
Millimeters are frequently used in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, healthcare, and any field requiring precision (e.g. thickness of paper or diameter of wires).
