“Photo-realistic simulation capability allows Virtual Sampling to minimise the need for actual sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost in the sampling process. APEX3 also supports design and simulation in various other industries such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing,” the company reports.
