FOTOBLECH - Software licenses
FAQ
What does the software do? The FOTOBLECH software converts any images into special perforated sheet patterns with holes of different sizes.
The algorithm is a patented in-house development and specially optimized for the possibilities of punching machines.
There are also more from 40 pattern generators, which create individual patterns.
With our method, more information can be displayed per area than usual, which makes the images more recognizable.
It is constantly being expanded and offered in different versions.
Do you only offer the software or do I also get finished sheets? Both as well. Depending on your wishes, we provide the software, the conversion service or the finished punched perforated sheets.
What do I need to make the software run with me? The software runs in the cloud. This means that no installation or special requirement is necessary - apart from Internet access. Dealing with it is simple and self-explanatory. You can start your project immediately.

Our patented process
Lunova GmbH has held the FOTOBLECH patent since 2013.
It allows much more information to be transmitted per area than would otherwise be possible.
This enables finer structures, finer gradations and better display quality.
The acquisition of a FOTOBLECH software license includes the right to use this patent.
The FOTOBLECH output formats
PDF A4. A format for preview including information on free area and hole density as well as adjustable foreground and background colors. All licenses.
DXF. Vector format. Only with architect and manufacturer license.
SVG. Vector format for viewing on the web.
CSV. Table with vector data. Manufacturer license only.
PNG. Pixel format full color space, lossless
GIF. Pixel format with 256 colors, lossless
JPG. Pixel format full color space, lossy
WEBP. Pixel format full color space, lossy / lossless
PDF Full size. Vector format in full screen and original size.
DXF - example file
Here you can use the example of the "Grid 1" pattern generator to download both a DXF sample file and a typical photo sheet PDF preview for test purposes. (4-8mm holes)
- PDF-Preview and DXF on large format (3000 * 1500mm)
- PDF-Preview and DXF on medium format (2500 * 1250mm)
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.
The FOTOBLECH toolset
The software typically generates holes in equal increments, often in whole or half a millimeter, between the smallest and largest possible diameter.
If a certain diameter is not available in production, this can be taken into account by defining a toolset. That means: Less investment in certain stamps.
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.
Finger protection
With certain hole diameters, there is a risk that children can get stuck in it with their fingers.
Wherever children's hands come near the perforated plates, our software should do so with the "finger protection" function
certain hole diameters are excluded and converted into harmless hole diameters.
More efficient punching
Due to the special conversion algorithm all images are stamped with a minimum set of punches. That enables us to punch motifs efficiently and without conversion.
