FOTOBLECH Software: ZIP Archives

Compressed. With our Fotoblech software, you now have the ability to collect and compress all of your output files into a single Zip archive.

This means that you no longer have to save each file individually, but rather have all important files summarized in an archive. This function saves time and significantly simplifies your work processes.

Try it out today and experience the benefits of our innovative Fotoblech software!

FOTOBLECH Software: Convert multiple photos simultaneously.

Multi-Upload. With Fotoblech software, multiple photos can be easily selected and automatically processed in bulk. The plate sizes are taken from the image template.

The finished results are then provided for download in a ZIP file. Entire projects can be easily and quickly converted in one go. (License for manufacturer and architect).

FOTOBLECH Software: Automatic Area Partitioning

Zoning. If the area to be processed is too large for a single sheet, it can be automatically divided into individual sections and generated in a single step. The loaded image is automatically distributed across the individual areas.

Providing the relevant parameters such as the overall width and height of the area, spacing between panels, maximum panel size, any edge treatments, and component labeling, the partitioning is carried out. (Licensed manufacturer and architect).

Customizable panel sizes

Panel Size. With the Fotoblech software, large surfaces can be automatically divided into individual panels.
The maximum size of the panels can be adjusted flexibly. By selecting the "custom" option, lengths and widths can be freely defined. This ensures that the grid layout remains flexible and precise even for complex requirements, and the panels can be optimally adapted to individual conditions.

Adjust columns and rows

Columns and Rows. The Fotoblech software makes it possible to divide large surfaces into smaller segments. Users can individually define how many columns and rows the division includes - based on the desired maximum sheet size.

This allows for tailored solutions for a variety of applications, from façades to decorative elements.

Merging of DXF sub-areas

DXF Merge. The Fotoblech software now offers an enhanced feature for merging DXF files in larger areas.

Previously, large areas were automatically divided into smaller segments, which were saved as individual DXF files. With this new feature, these sub-areas can now be combined into a single large DXF file, significantly simplifying further processing. The result is provided as a ZIP archive for download, containing all merged files.

This saves time and reduces manual effort. The optimization enables more precise processing and a more efficient handling of large-scale designs.

Image merging

PNG Merge. For large FOTOBLECH surfaces, such as facades or fences, the preview is often divided into multiple partial areas.

To provide a complete overview, a PNG merging process allows these individual images to be combined into a single overall image. This saves time, improves the presentation, and makes review and presentation easier. The merging is performed automatically and is especially helpful for large projects with complex designs.

Exclude subareas

Exclusions. The Fotoblech software allows for the precise design of large overall surfaces by combining many smaller areas.

Selected subareas can be specifically excluded from the perforated sheet conversion – for example, for gate openings, windows, or technical cutouts. This provides maximum design flexibility and ensures perfectly fitting results, even for complex projects. The feature is especially useful for façades, fences, or other architectural applications with individual requirements.

Define cutouts

Cutouts. Fotoblech with cutouts allows for precise positioning and sizing of openings.

Windows, doors, or other recesses are seamlessly integrated into the perforation pattern. The hole rows adjust in such a way that no holes are cut off – each cutout is surrounded by complete rows, ensuring a clean and aesthetic overall appearance.

Accurate hole geometry

Precise borders. The Fotoblech software enables precise placement of hole rows and columns on freely definable surfaces.

It ensures that a defined edge area is maintained on all four sides and that no holes are cut off. Each edge – top, right, bottom, and left – can be individually configured by the user.
This allows even complex requirements to be implemented reliably. Even if the substructure is already completed and the panels are later cut to their exact final dimensions, the software ensures a continuous, harmonious hole pattern with perfectly aligned rows and consistent spacing.

Hole Strategies for Distorted Surfaces

Trimming. Fotoblech offers a wide range of options for designing and processing surfaces, even when they do not have a rectangular shape.

For distorted or irregular surfaces, it is particularly important to handle the hole patterns flexibly. Three options are available for this purpose: “adjust”, “leave”, and “trim”. While adjusting changes the hole sizes proportionally, trimming preserves the original hole grid. Only the edge holes are reduced in size or – if they extend beyond the boundary – removed. These options enable precise implementation of designs on complex geometries without significantly affecting the uniform appearance of the hole pattern.

Harmonious views

Materials. The Fotoblech software enables the creation of views that authentically represent desired materials such as Corten steel and distribute them harmoniously across individual surfaces.

It provides realistic depictions of rust formation, color variations, and surface textures, making the preview of the Fotoblechs precise and aesthetically convincing.

This significantly facilitates the design and decision-making processes for customers.

Transparent preview

Transparent. With this feature from Fotoblech, the background can be made transparent when exporting as a PNG image.

This allows the created designs to be easily placed over a photo of the facade, providing the customer with a realistic and authentic preview. This innovative option significantly simplifies visualization and aids in decision-making. Fotoblech thus makes it easier to present individual design ideas.

FOTOBLECH Software: Combination potential with cost savings

Standards. The 'Standard' function for the Fotoblech software allows you to adjust the distances between the rows and columns of your Fotoblech to those of standard perforated sheets. This opens up the possibility of combining your Fotoblech with regular perforated sheets in a project and thereby saving costs.

By adjusting the row and column distances, you can now use multiple stamps and ensure a more efficient production of your Fotoblech. The most suitable standard is proposed. Available in the Manufacturer license.

FOTOBLECH Software: Variant Generator

Runs. With Fotoblech software, patterns are created using algorithms that make each sheet unique. Our random generators provide an endless variety of variations that perfectly suit your needs.

The "Runs" feature allows you to automatically generate any number of different versions of a sheet. With this new feature, we can now create a large number of sheets in no time without sacrificing quality or uniqueness.

Now available in the "Manufacturer" license.

Optimize and try out

Alter. With the "Alter" function we offer the possibility to check and optimize your results.

By slightly varying the parameter settings with each iteration, you automatically generate a series of results. This allows you to compare different options and determine which setting delivers the best possible outcome. Available in the "Manufacturer" license.

FOTOBLECH Software: Capture Function

Aufnahme. Our Fotoblech software is renowned for its user-friendliness and performance, and the "Capture Function" is another highlight that makes your work even more efficient and convenient.

Experience the convenience of downloading all the intermediate results of your project with just one click. Boost your productivity and bring your creative visions to life without any distractions. Everything you need is contained in a single file that you can easily manage and share. Available in the "Manufacturer" license.

Layer separation

DXF-Layer. The elements of a DXF conversion for Fotoblech sheets are organized in layers. Each diameter is represented on its own layer. (License manufacturer and architect)

In addition, the drawing can be divided into these layers using the 'DXF layer splitting' function. This allows, for example, CNC machines to process the drawing step by step, diameter by diameter. When the drawing is split, the results are combined in a ZIP archive. (License manufacturer).

Mac and PC compatible

The programme runs entirely in the cloud.

If there is a newer programme version, it will be installed automatically without download or install it again.

Whether you work on a PC or Mac, the software works.

FOTOBLECH Includes: Fine Checkered Pattern

Inside Out. Discover the versatility of Fotoblech! Our powerful tool allows you to create not only square, round, and triangular perforations, but also diamond-shaped ones.

The result? A sophisticated design that enhances any balcony. With Fotoblech, you can unleash your creativity and add perfect accents. Let yourself be inspired!

Image: Checks generated by the "Gradient" tool, with squares offset by 45 degrees, as Corten steel perforated sheet.

Function: Selective probabilities

Dynamically controlled perforation probability

If needed, we can control the probability of punching a hole or not depending on the potential hole size.

Small holes tend not to be punched. Large holes are more likely.

This results in a reduction of the number of punched holes by approx. 50% with a high contrast of the image at the same time.

Function: Dynamic Jitter

With the jitter function we let the holes dance.

Now even more dynamic: The maximum degrees of freedom are calculated for each individual hole and then the position is changed at random. Of course without the holes intersecting.

In the example on the left you can see in combination with the possibility of setting the hole spacing differently horizontally and vertically. This results in a nice line pattern.

FOTOBLECH Special: Photo sheets with frame

Give your photo sheets a frame. A range of different frame shapes give visual support to the content. The frame shape supports the desired expression, for example as a picture or fence panel.
The sheets themselves provide the frame for the sheets. The visually reduced evenness is maintained and not interrupted by uprights or substructures.

Example 1: Coten steel with "Gradient" pattern, jitter effect and frame "balcony01"
Example 2: Galvanised steel with floral pattern and "Balcony02" frame with vertical struts
