Also exhibited is the latest version of Shima Seiki’s SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system. At the core of the company’s “Total Fashion System” concept, APEX3 provides comprehensive support throughout the apparel supply chain, integrating production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn development, product planning and design to production and even sales promotion.

 

Especially effective is APEX3’s capability to improve on the design and evaluation process with virtual sampling. Photo-realistic simulation capability allows virtual sampling to minimize costly time- and resource-consuming sample making while enhancing presentation quality.

 

Examples of knitwear produced on its latest line of computerized knitting machines will be on display as well, including revolutionary seam-free WHOLE GARMENT®  knitwear that features superior fit, comfort and draping characteristics, as well as new proposals in knit-weave hybrid textiles produced on the SRY series machine.
