	// layers which link the GF to the carbon fiber support, and to the 
	// ladders.
	// ---
	// The glue and kapton layers have exactly the same size, while 
	// the aluminum foil has some small differences in its overall size 
	// and in the dimensions of its holes. The first argument passed to

	//   - type = 1 --> aluminum layer
	//   - type = 2 --> glue layer between support and GF
	//   - type = 3 --> glue layer between GF and ladders
	// ---

	// 1) the part which is connected to the chips, which is a 
	//    simple box with some box-shaped holes at regular intervals
	// 2) a trapezoidal connection where the Y size changes
	// 3) another box with a unique hole of the same shape and size as above
	// 4) another trapezoidal connection where the Y size changes
	// 5) a final part which is built as a sequence of 4 BOX volumes
	//    where the first and the third are equal and the others have 
	//    same size in Y.
