## About HoleSnap

HoleSnap is a browser-based family of pattern editors for perforated panels, grilles, screens, image-mapped patterns, organic cells, flow fields, laser cutting, CNC, and design exploration.

HoleSnap currently provides three separate editor apps. They share parts of the workbench and export infrastructure, but they start from different source types and should not be described as modes of one editor.

## Editors

### [HoleSnap Mesh](https://www.holesnap.com/md/mesh.md)

Parametric perforated pattern editor. Start from parameters, presets, templates, or custom paths; control shape, layout, gradients, boundaries, and effects; export SVG, DXF, or STP/STEP.

- App: https://www.holesnap.com/apps/mesh
- Product overview: https://www.holesnap.com/products/mesh
- Localized overview pattern: https://www.holesnap.com/{locale}/products/mesh
- Input model: parameters, presets, templates, custom paths
- Outputs: SVG, DXF, STP/STEP

### [HoleSnap Pattern](https://www.holesnap.com/md/pattern.md)

Image to pattern editor. Start from an uploaded image, SVG, logo, or built-in example; map tone and edges into dot, halftone, or perforation geometry; export PNG, SVG, or DXF.

- App: https://www.holesnap.com/apps/pattern

## Quick Comparison

| Editor | Best starting point | Main result | Current exports |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| HoleSnap Mesh | Parameters, templates, presets, custom paths | Parametric perforated patterns | SVG, DXF, STP/STEP |
| HoleSnap Pattern | Images, SVGs, logos | Image-mapped dots, halftones, and perforations | PNG, SVG, DXF |
| HoleSnap Flow Scene | Cell or Flow generator and a seed | Organic cells and flow-line patterns | SVG, DXF |

## Shared Safety Note

HoleSnap provides design tools and export workflows, not manufacturing certification. Open area, target bridge values, minimum bridge estimates, presets, and export checks are design references. Review exported files in the target CAD/CAM or fabrication software and verify units, scale, closed contours, duplicate geometry, minimum feature sizes, material limits, and machine requirements before production.
