Voxler does not calculate volume directly, but it does export slices to the Surfer [.GRD] file format. 
  • In Voxler, save data as [.GRD]:
    • Choose the File | Save Data command to export a uniform lattice to the Surfer Grid format. The exported lattice has a "z" dimension of one, i.e., the lattice is two-dimensional. If an input lattice with a z dimension of greater than one is exported, then Voxler prompts the user to save multiple slices into separate [.GRD] files.
    • If a multi-slice uniform lattice is output to a [.GRD] file format, it is output as a series of slices in the Z direction. The Select Slices dialog appears and the user is prompted for the range of slices to output and a file name template that adds the slice number to each generated file name.
  • In Surfer, calculate volume:
    • Choose the Grid | Volume menu command to calculate the area above a certain level, and multiply it by the thickness of the slice to get the volume. 
    • Repeat for each slice. 
    • You could automate the task with a script in Surfer.
