The final part size in any type of 3DP process (e.g., Z Corp) is a function
of the shape. In other words, if you make multiple copies of the same part,
they should have the same dimensions. If the parts that you are building are
of different shapes, you should expect a difference in sizes.
An extreme example of this is where you make a solid box (e.g., 10 cm x 10 cm
x 10 cm) and a box of the same size with the middle cut out, so that you have
walls of 3mm thickness.
