A desktop tornado.
EF3-rated.
The Vortex Cage is a hand-finished, custom 3D-printed tornado interceptor โ engineered to withstand sustained winds of 165+ mph. Small enough for your desk. Tough enough for the plains.

Engineering
A funnel that fights back.
Most 3D-printed forms collapse past 60 mph. The Vortex Cage is different โ printed in a single continuous mono-frame using PLA, with a topology-optimized lattice tuned to deflect, not absorb.
- Single-pass mono-frameNo seams, no fasteners, no failure points.
- Topology-optimized latticeAlgorithmically generated ribbing โ minimal material, maximum rigidity.
- Brass anchor baseRemovable 200g weighted foot, magnetic, tarnish-resistant.
- Wind-tunnel validatedEach batch tested to 185 mph (EF3 margin) before shipping.
