Abstract: The minimal integral Mahler measure of a number field $K$, $M(mathcal{O}_K)$, is the minimal Mahler measure of a non-torsion primitive element of $mathcal{O}_K$. Upper and lower bounds, which depend on the discriminant, are known. We show that for cubics, the lower bounds are sharp with respect to its growth as a function of discriminant. We construct an algorithm to compute $M(mathcal{O}_K)$ for all cubics with absolute value of the discriminant bounded by $N$.
