Flexible production

Featuring Shima Seiki's original SlideNeedle, SWG091N2 is capable of flexible production from small knitted items such as gloves and socks to garment-size products, the manufacturer reports.

It can also knit various textures and fabric structures for creating partial compression, spacer fabric and other effects that aid in athletic support and protection. SWG091N2 can knit all of these items in 3D without any seams.

Fashion design and production

The latest version of Shima Seiki's SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system will also be available for demonstrations.

An all-in-one 3D design system that supports all aspects of fashion design and production, SDS-ONE APEX3 is at the core of the company’s Total Knitting System and Total Fashion System concepts, allowing smooth workflow from planning, design and programming to production and even sales promotion.

APEX 3 also improves on the planning process through photo-realistic simulation capability, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process with Virtual Sampling. Products can be checked with 3D simulation, such as 3D modelling, 3D fitting, and 3D mapping.
