SHIMA SEIKI MFG

SHIMA SEIKI's computer graphic 3D design system is the latest all-in-one design tool for designing knitwear and programming of SHIMA SEIKI industrial knitting machines. Especially of note is SDS-ONE APEX3's superior performance in ultra-realistic fabric simulation that can reproduce fabric texture to unprecedented levels, to the extent of confusing with genuine fabrics. Simulations can be used as virtual samples that replace actual knitwear in sampling, saving precious time, cost and material. Virtual knitwear can also be used in retail "presale activities" to gauge consumer response in order to forecast demand even before the item goes to market. In such a way SDS-ONE APEX3 becomes a platform for digitization and acceleration of manufacturing that easily keeps up with fast-changing trends.
