Limitations when processing a photo with halftone
Using Photoshop software, you have a filter that can transform a photo into a halftone texture. This technique is sufficient for paper printing, as it facilitates interpretation through vectorization of the image produced. However, to create a giant decoration using metal facade panels, the entire industrial process of transmitting manufacturing orders to the factory for the production of perforated sheets is missing:
- Creating DXF files using Illustrator software does not provide the precision required for producing perforated metal sheets. Plans digitized using Adobe software can be printed on large textile canvases, but cannot be used for industrial sheet metal production. To produce decorative sheets or metal facade panels, the factory requires flawless DXF plans for the entire perforated outline with a solid border. The halftone processing of your photo by the Cré@perfo interface connects directly to the CNC punching machine.
- The minimum distance between holes in perforated sheet metal remains the most important production constraint, ensuring the mechanical strength of the sheet metal, providing good bending resistance, and preventing the sheet metal from tearing during shaping. This calculation is linked to several technical parameters (hole diameter, sheet thickness, hole shape, type of material, etc.) that simple halftone processing on a graphics application does not offer.
The Cré@perfo graphical interface uses the expertise of the DAMPERE Design Office DAMPERE its calculation source code. The algorithms calculate and verify the technical constraints to ensure the perforated sheet metal is shaped correctly. The graphic rendering displayed on the screen corresponds to the best image processing, including the machining conditions of the decorative panel.
