• Noun:
  • The cubicity of the salt crystal was remarkable under the microscope.
  • Engineers measured the cubicity of the aggregate to ensure it was suitable for the concrete mix.
  • The algorithm evaluates the cubicity of the voxels in the 3D model.

Advanced Usage

• "High degree of cubicity": Used to indicate that an object is very cube-like in its dimensions or symmetry.
  • The mineral exhibited a high degree of cubicity, with nearly perfect right angles.
• "To assess/measure the cubicity": A phrase used in technical contexts to describe the evaluation of this property.
