Shima Seiki will also exhibit knitwear produced on its latest line of computerized knitting machines, including revolutionary seam-free WHOLEGARMENT knitwear that features superior fit, comfort and draping characteristics.

On display

The company will exhibit two versions of its flagship MACH2XS WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine in differing gauges and knitting widths. Featuring Shima Seiki’s original SlideNeedle on four needle beds and spring-type moveable sinkers, MACH2XS is said to offer high efficiency and stability with extended patterning capability while knitting WHOLEGARMENT items.

The compact SWG091N2 WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine will also be on display, offering flexible production, as well as the capability for producing technical textiles for sports, medical and other industrial applications, the company reports.

The novel SRY183LP computerized flat knitting machine features loop presser beds with inlay capability, offering new possibilities in knit-weave hybrid textiles. Conventional knitting machines, such as the compact SSR112 and workhorse SIR123 machine will also be on display to demonstrate the leading edge in computerized shaped knitting technology.

3D design system

The SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system, positioned at the core of Shima Seiki’s Total Fashion System concept, is designed to provide comprehensive support of the knit supply chain by integrating knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion.

Virtual Sampling through photo-realistic simulation is said to minimize the need for sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process. APEX3 also supports design and simulation in various other industries such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.
