### My Question
I have a mesh of known size box.
Mesh is created using Meshroom's photogrammetry pipeline.
scale is 1 unit = 100mm
Using Meshlab's measure tool, I measured the height, width and breadth.
Below is the image showing the measurements (1 unit = 100mm)
**The volume is 2.3 unit cube**

Also I measure the volume using Open3d's mesh volume attribute. Here I used bounding box volume as the mesh is not watertight.
**The volume is 8.9**

Why there is so much difference in volume calculates using both methods?
