Will you be making the strainer yourself, or the drawing of the strainer yourself, or neither, or both?

Do you have CAD system?

"need to make basket strainer in the shape of cube".

Most strainers are of cylindrical or conical shape for the obvious reason that cylinder and cone can stand for greater hoop stress/circumferential stress compared to cube/cuboid. That is the reason storage tanks are mostly cylinerical.

In case of strainers, the debries are preferablly collected inside for maintenance reasons. If strainer gets blocked, a cylinderical/conical strainer would retain the shape well compared to to cubical one.

So, why cube shapped strainer?

"So, why cube shapped strainer?"

this strainer will be used inside sewage water tank, for that reason i would like to get max mesh area so it will not clogged fast. the mesh size i want to use is very fine mesh.

the cube strainer will be open from one side to cover the inlet sewage line and only filtered water can go to the tank.

Can you specify the mesh material and size of mesh? Can you specify the other materials of construction? Can you describe the part and all the pieces it would take to make it?

No, I don't have answers. You need to have at least an inkling of what is going on.

I'm done.

Goodbye.
