Leading computerized knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki will exhibit at the Première Vision show in Paris this month in the Knitwear Solutions category for the flatbed knit sector as sole machine technologist, following its successful participation in past editions.

On display will be Shima Seiki’s flagship MACH2XS Wholegarment knitting machine that features the company’s original SlideNeedle on 4 needle beds and patented spring-loaded full-time sinker system. According to the company, MACH2XS is the crystallization of all of Shima Seiki’s experience and know-how as a world-leader in computerized flat knitting machine technology and pioneer in Wholegarment knitting, that allows a garment to be produced in its entirety without the need for linking or sewing afterward.

Also exhibited will be the latest version of the SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system. At the core of Shima Seiki’s Total Fashion System concept, APEX3 offers 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. APEX3 also supports design and simulation in a variety of other industries such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.

Première Vision Paris will also be used for demonstrating the newly launched Shima Trend Archive & Forecast (staf) site. staf is a web-based service for fashion designers, planners and merchandisers, dedicated to empowering its members with the means to search and download from a rich stock of information as well as tools to organize that information to aid in fashion planning, design and presentation. Read all about it here - Shima Seiki launches new fashion web service.

staf features an information archive of fashion and color trends covering the past 50 years, as well as a massive collection of fashion-related content, covering materials, flat sketches, design patterns and collection photos.

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.
