MetaSystems

MetaSystems™

Patterned Embossing, Cutting, & Perforation

The Zahner MetaSystems™ Suite gives designers, artists, and architects the ability to custom-design any repeating shape or pattern. Different from the Zira™ Process, the MetaSystems™ suite allows a designer to create the individual perforated shapes or the bumped shapes in a repeating pattern, while the Zira™ process allows a designer to create the actual image that the perforations and bumps form.

The MetaSystems™ Suite

MetaPerf™ allows artists and architects to design a custom perforation pattern on metal, as a decorative and functional design medium.

MetaShape enables the designer to enhance the metal surface with deep  relief designs.  

MetaBump gives artists and architects the ability to design a light-relief bumped pattern on a variety of metals.
