ZIRA™

TRANSLATE IMAGERY TO METAL

ZIRA™ was developed to enable designers to automatically translate an image, graphic, or design to metal. Instead of simply selecting a standard perforation, designers are now able to use their own imagery to create stunning patterns and designs across a metal surface.

New: Try ImageWall by Zahner, a complete design and build experience for custom perforated metal based on patented ZIRA technology by Zahner.

ZIRA is a Zahner-patented system which was developed to enable designers to automatically translate an image, graphic, or design to metal. Instead of simply selecting a standard perforation, designers are able to use their own imagery to create stunning patterns and designs across a metal surface.

* PATENT NO. 7,212,688 B2

ZIRA stands for Zahner Interpretive Relational Algorithm. This patented process was developed to expedite complex custom perforations and selective embossing on projects of every size and scope.

The technology behind ZIRA is continuously refined. One of the most powerful examples of this technology can be seen in the Zahner-developed ImageWall app. This app enables designers to upload their own imagery to quickly develop custom perforated metal.

ImageWall is just one of several ZIRA-based technologies. In addition to ImageWall and perforation, ZIRA systems offer designers the ability to use any combination of selective embossing, cutting, or perforation to translate these images to metal. Any image, photograph, drawing, or pattern can be translated to the metal surface using ZIRA technology.

Designers come to Zahner to create something new. Working with Zahner on custom perforated and embossed metal systems is like having an eager collaborator. Zahner engineers understand the artistic aspects as well as the scientific aspects of a built system. To develop your custom perforated design, contact the Zahner sales team and get started.
