Key Features

Image2Punch software is developed and distributed as three types of software:

Image2Punch Genesis is specifically developed for those who do not want to purchase the licence fee but are willing to pay the CAD conversion service in order to get the perforated pattern design in a DXF format. The benefit is clear: users only need to pay for their DXF format (i.e. only for the result). There is no licence fee for Image2Punch Genesis. This type of service is suitable for those who are in the beginning stages of experiencing Image2Punch for their perforated metal project. However, the maximum toolhit on Image2Punch Genesis will be limited to only 50000 hits.

Image2Punch Pro is developed specifically for those who want to use the full capabilities and potential of Image2Punch for their perforated metal project. Users can convert their perforated pattern design as much as they want without having to use the CAD conversion service. The current cost for the 2nd version of Image2Punch Pro is $699 USD. Although users must pay for the license fee, they will have a free upgrade for the next adjacent version. The licensee also has the privilege of purchasing the future version with 50% off its current cost. For example, if a user purchased Image2Punch Pro version 2.0, they are also entitled to get a free upgrade for the next version, 3.0. Moreover, they are also entitled to get 50% discount for the 4th version, 5th version and so on.

Image2Punch Lite is specifically developed for those who want to use Image2Punch for their perforated metal project but do not want to use all the potential that Image2Punch can offer. In this version, the licence fee is $149 USD. The tool for generating perforated metal design will be limited to only round type tools and the perforated pattern type will only be square, 30, 45 and 60. The maximum tool hit will be limited to 15000 hits. Image2Punch Lite is suitable for those who do not want to use the CAD conversion service and the full capabilities of Image2Punch Pro for their perforated metal project. Image2Punch Lite’s license holder will be entitled to a 25% discount on the future release.Thus, if a user purchased Image2Punch Lite version 1.0, they will get 25% discount for the second version of Image2Punch Lite.
