Leading computerized knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki, of Wakayama, will exhibit at the Première Vision show in Paris. The company will once again participate in the Knitwear Solutions category for the flatbed knit sector as sole machine technologist, following its successful participation in past editions.

Especially of note this year is the adoption of knitted one-piece dresses using the company’s exclusive Wholegarment knitting technology as official uniforms for the exhibition’s hostesses, the company reports.

3D design system

On display will be an updated version of Shima Seiki’s SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system demonstrating its comprehensive support of the entire process of knitwear production from planning and design to production and sales promotion, as well as its capability for Virtual Sampling.

Ultra-realistic simulation capability allows Virtual Sampling to minimize the costly time- and resource-consuming sample-making process while enhancing presentation quality. 3D simulation is said to allow evaluation of knitwear from all angles.

3D modelling, 3D mapping and 3D fitting simulation of multiple coordinate items are possible as well, according to the manufacturer. APEX3 also supports design and simulation in a variety of other industries, such as circular knitting, pile knitting, weaving and printing.

Computerized knitting machines

Shima Seiki will also exhibit knitwear produced on its latest line of computerized knitting machines, including revolutionary Wholegarment knitwear that is produced in one entire piece without seams and features superior fit, comfort and draping characteristics.

Brand new proposals in textiles will also be presented through samples knitted on Shima Seiki’s new SRY machine that is capable of producing unique hybrid knit fabrics that cross-over into the realm of wovens.
