Shima Seiki, of Wakayama, will exhibit at the Première Vision show in New York in July 2016, by participating in the new Manufacturing area, dedicated to technical and logistical manufacturing solutions, as sole machine technologist with a machine exhibit.

On display will be the SWG091N2, the largest in the SWG-N2 line of compact WHOLEGARMENT knitting machines. Featuring Shima Seiki’s original SlideNeedle, the SWG-N2 series is designed to offer great flexibility with the capability to produce a variety of accessory items such as gloves, socks, leggings, hats and mufflers, as well as childrenswear and even technical textiles.

According to the manufacturer, its versatility makes the SWG-N2 series ideal for a range of applications from production in large-scale knitting factories to sampling in design studios, as well as R&D and educational facilities.

3D design system

Also exhibited is the latest version of Shima Seiki’s SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system. At the core of Shima Seiki’s Total Fashion System concept, APEX3 aims to offer 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 allows evaluation of knitwear from all angles. 3D modelling, 3D mapping and 3D fitting simulation of multiple coordinate items are possible as well. APEX3 also supports design and simulation in a variety of other industries such as circular knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.

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.
