Japan computerized flat
knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki is taking part in the SIMATEX exhibition in Buenos Aires, Argentina next month, where it is showing some of its latest advanced knitting technology.
Shima exhibits a wide range of its products, including new proposals in seam-free WholeGarment knitting technology which could offer an interesting alternative to the current labour-intensive knitwear manufacturing sector in South America.
On display will be the latest version of Japanese company’s SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system. APEX3 is at the core of Shima’s Total Fashion System which offers comprehensive support of the knit production process from planning and production to sales promotion, as well as the capability for Virtual Sampling. Ultra-realistic simulation allows Virtual Sampling to minimize the costly time and resource consuming sample making process.
The company is a pioneer in complete garment manufacturing technology - known as Wholegarment - wherein an entire knitted garment is produced on the knitting machine without the need for linking or sewing afterward. Since its commercial introduction in 1995, Shima has been the undisputed leader in Wholegarment knitting technology almost 20 years of proprietary field experience.
