The SIP-series inkjet printing machine will also demonstrate high-speed high-quality printing directly on fabrics as well as on finished goods. The P-CAM series comput- erized cutting machine rounds out the SHIMA SEIKI exhibit.

With comprehensive support of the product supply chain, APEX3 integrates every stage from planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion into one smooth and efficient workflow.

Photo-realistic simulation capability allows Virtual Sampling to minimize the need for actual sample-making, reducing time, material and cost while increasing presentation quality in the sampling process.
