          1/2" is 'half' an inch ~12.7mm
          So 12mm ply in EU/Rest_of_the_World == 1/2" ply in USA...

            A quick way of converting imperial fractions to metric is....

            1/2" = 16/32" (Change to 32nds if possible)

            Multiply 16 by 8 ( 16 * 8 = 128)

            Put in a decimal at one decimal place

            so 128 = 12.8mm

            It.s an approximation but a pretty close one.

              How did you make the bowl shape(the negative space)? ...is it mathematically generated?

                i admit, metric makes way more sense.. i guess we're (americans) just stubborn? or too lazy to switch? πŸ˜„

                our 1/2" is actually 15/32" which is really close to 12mm (11.9mm)..
                just easier for us to call it half.

                23/32 = 3/4" ply
                19/32 - 5/8" ply
                etc.

                  What !!!
                  The USA has [slightly] thinner plywood than the rest of the world ??
                  Let's all agree to call it '12mm' πŸ˜‰

                  Did you make the model out of Slicer cuts or ModelSlicer ?

                    Plywood is almost always thinner than the dimension it is called but then so is all other wood. A 1x6 will be 3/4 in. thick by 5-1/2" wide. If you want one inch thick lumber you have to buy 6/4 and surface it.
