One shared workflow

From pattern idea to export-ready file

Applications, templates, and tools offer different starting points, then lead into one clear production path.

  1. 01

    Choose an app or template

    Start from parameters, an image, organic geometry, or a ready-made template.

  2. 02

    Set up the canvas

    Enter material size in mm, choose a background, and define the working area

  3. 03

    Tune the parameters

    Pick a layout, adjust hole size, spacing, and gradients, and monitor hole count and bridge width live

FAQ

Common questions before you start

A quick guide to what HoleSnap creates, who it helps, what it exports, and how it differs from a simple conversion tool.

Read the full FAQ

What patterns can HoleSnap create?

It creates adjustable patterns for perforated panels, grilles, screens, ventilation layouts, speaker grilles, texture work, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, laser-cut parts, and CNC files.

Which formats can I export?

The main editor supports SVG, DXF, and STP/STEP for CAD, laser cutting, CNC, and engineering validation.

Is it only an open area calculator?

No. Open area and bridge width are live checks; the core workflow is adjustable vector pattern generation.
