        PixelPerf is a professional Arrow Metal design and processing technology for creating perforated metal art from images, photos and illustrations. PixelPerf converts your image into a CAD drawing which is then imported into our punching software.
        Then our stamping equipment stamps the sheet metal based on the CAD image. The result is a 100% accurate reproduction of your perforated metal image, including all the fine details and shadows, giving you ultra-realistic perforated images.
        Because PixelPerf creates perforated metal images, it is most commonly used in interior and exterior decorative installations where visual appeal and aesthetics are the primary goals. Typical uses of the building include:
        There are almost no limits to the design you can create with PixelPerf. Popular picture styles include:
        How to discreetly hide and ventilate unsightly but necessary construction equipment? Perforated metal screens with PixelPerf! Using old black and white photographs as aerial screens, Archibald Residences architects have created an instant connection to the community and brought the area’s iconic tram back to life. By carefully and thoughtfully setting up the image, we were even able to capture the facial expressions of the passengers and achieve the desired airflow.
        The stunning foliage motifs on the perforated panels and signage of the Riverview Assisted Living Apartments reflect the site’s prime location among the bush. Projects begin with basic drawings, which our team of experts work closely with architects to transform into flawless CAD drawings to achieve the privacy, ventilation, light output, and aesthetic goals of the project.
        We turned art into a decorative gold perforated panel at Chatswood Interchange. We worked with the project’s design studio to translate the JPEG images they provided into drawings of our processing equipment, perfectly reproducing their original artwork.
        The red screens surrounding the children’s play area at the Narellan Town mall are a stimulating and vibrant addition thanks to the trees and trains we’ve perforated in each panel. Fun and addictive, this is the perfect playground for all ages.
       To achieve the best results, a good contrast between light and dark areas of the original image is required – we can always adjust it if necessary.
        This is why black and white images work best with PixelPerf as it works by converting light and dark tones into holes of different diameters. Size also matters – the larger the image on the finished panel, the better the detail.
        You also need to consider the context of the installation site. Is there a light behind the panel or a solid colored background? This determines the type of piercing technique we will be using. You also need to consider function, as this also affects the design – do your panels need to perform certain functions, or are they purely decorative?

        Perforated metal mesh is a type of sheet metal that has been stamped or punched with a series of small holes or slots. The holes may be arranged in a regular or irregular pattern, and they may be of various sizes and shapes, depending on the desired effect. Perforated metal mesh is used in a wide range of applications, from architectural and decorative use to industrial and engineering applications, including filtration, ventilation, and screening. It is also used in the manufacture of automotive parts, electronic enclosures, and machinery components. The material can be made from a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium, and can be shaped into flat sheets, coils or strips.
