Shima Seiki, leading Japanese computerised knitting machine manufacturer, and its Brazilian representative, Brastema Tecnologia Textil Ltda., will present the company’s latest computerised flat knitting technology, at each venue in the 15th Tech Fashion shows, a series of private exhibitions held at three locations in Brazil, on July 12, 18, and 19, 2017.
On display will be traditional shaping machines, such as the benchmark SVR series, the workhorse SIR series and economical SSR series, as well as the novel SRY machine capable of hybrid knit-weave fabrics. Most noteworthy, however, is the flagship MACH2XS Wholegarment knitting machine. Featuring such innovations as the original SlideNeedle on four needle beds as well as the company’s patented spring-loaded moveable sinker system, MACH2XS can knit beautiful, high-quality 3D Items with dimensional structures and details that are uniquely Wholegarment, all with very high efficiency while minimising dependence upon labour-intensive sewing and linking.
These qualities of Wholegarment knit production are maximised in combination with the 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. Ultra-realistic simulation capability on APEX3 allows Virtual Sampling to minimise the significant amount of time, cost and material spent during the sample-making process.
With the new manufacturing model, the production cycle can be shortened to such an extent that on-demand production can revolutionise the supply chain to support mass-customisation and increasing consumer demand for ecommerce applications.
