Image2Punch and Me

Introduction:

I am Fransiscus Herry. I wrote and developed Image2Punch for the first time in March 2005 when I was working as CNC/CAD programmer and operator for HSM engineering (Auckland - New Zealand).

I was inspired to write the basic concept of Image2Punch because we could not buy similar-purposed software in the market for the Amada Vipros Turret Punch CNC machine.

History:

In October 2006, I decided to re-develop Image2Punch and put all my efforts so that it might become professional software for creating perforated pattern designs to be used in many industries including architecture and sheet metal fabrication.

After several months, I created a one-man-band company called Aucad Drafting Limited in July 2007 as a business structure to commercialize Image2Punch worlwide.

In March 2011, I and my family moved into Melbourne - Australia and close my own company, Aucad Drafting Limited. However, i still continue to run this software business and trade under my own name in Australia.

In September 2011, Image2Punch has been commercially used in 24 countries worldwide and the latest update (i.e. version 3.2) has been released in June 2011.

Objectives:

The main goals of Image2Punch are to give customers great service and useful products that should be easy and intuitive to design and to generate pattern perforation.

In addition, I greatly hope that Image2Punch can bring a new dimension in designing perforated sheet metal for many real-world applications.

The next major release (i.e. 4^th version) is currently under development and i am trying to create more possible patterns to enhance the current perforated pattern, so it can be manufactured not only by CNC Turret Punch Press, but also by CNC Laser Cutting. The main feature of the 4^th version will be the ability to recognize custom shape for perforated pattern from DXF file.

Although I am solely responsible for this entrepreneurship, I also receive help from a few contractors and freelancers to maintain and run all aspects of the business. My motto is “Be Honest and Be Profitable!”.

If you have any questions or comments about Image2Punch, I would love to hear from you. If you need technical support or just need a question answered you will get the response straight from the creator, me.

I also would love to hear how the pattern perforation generated by Image2Punch is applied in your business.

Sincerely,

Fransiscus Asisi Herry
