Cages of a different sort

The last post was about cage-style optomechanics. This post is about Faraday cages.

8020.net

In the post about alternative optomechanics, I mentioned 8020.net. They will custom build cages, sending you the cut extruded aluminium pieces, hardware, and fasteners.

Paletti USA

Paletti is another source to try. They have a range of extruded aluminum profiles and hardware. They also have CAD files for their products, so you can mock it up yourself. Many of their aluminium extrusion profiles can be cut fairly quickly with just a hacksaw, so you can buy lengths and cut to fit your application.
