ImageLines Visualizer
Zahner’s ImageWall system has provided architects with the ability to create image based custom-perforated metal panels for many years. Now, Zahner Labs is developing an exciting twist with ImageLines—an additional customization for generating perforated images.
With ImageLines, perforations are positioned by an array of customizable lines/curves, while perforation size is driven by a source image (like ImageWall). These curves or “brushstrokes” can be used to emphasize elements of the source image or respond to architectural features, building programming, wayfinding, and so much more.
Upload an image to our visualizer below and see how ImageLines takes perforated facades to the next level.

The ImageLines pattern generation process includes image sampling, establishing orientation lines, and then creating the perforation overlay along the orientation lines.
