Demonstrations will be performed on the SDS-ONE APEX3 design system that is at the core of the Shima Seiki’s Total Knitting System concept. With comprehensive support of the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion.

Photorealistic simulation capability allows for Virtual Sampling to minimise the need for actual sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost while increasing presentation quality in the sampling process. APEX3 also supports design and simulation in a variety of other industries in addition to flat knitting such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.
