Knitting machine maker Shima Seiki to exhibit in DTG 2014

SWG061N is the central model in a line-up of special WHOLEGARMENT knitting machines. With its compact size specially designed for producing a range of accessory items, SWG061N opens up a whole new genre of knit production.

Gloves, socks, five-toe socks, hats, mufflers, leg warmers, neck-ties and other fashion accessories can all be produced in their entirety, with no sewing or linking required. Featuring SHIMA SEIKI’s own SlideNeedle, these items can be produced with a variety of patterns, including full jacquard, intarsia, mesh and even new transfer patterns.

SDS-ONE APEX3

An “all-in-one” 3D design system that supports all aspects of fashion design and production, SDS-ONE APEX3 is at the core of SHIMA SEIKI’s Total Knitting System and Total Fashion System concepts, allowing smooth workflow from planning, design and programming to production and even sales promotion.

APEX 3 also improves on the planning process through photo-realistic simulation capability, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process with Virtual Sampling. Products can be checked with 3D simulation, such as 3D modeling, 3D fitting and 3D mapping.
