SHIMA SEIKI to participate in Tech Fashion

Leading Japanese computerized knitting machine manufacturer SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD., together with its Brazilian repÂ resentative BRASTEMA TECNOLOGIA TEXTIL LTDA., will participate in the Tech Fashion shows, a series of private exhibiÂ tions held at three locations in Brazil in July and August. The exhibitions will be a showcase for the companyâ€™s latest computerized flat knitting technology, presented through fashion shows as well as machine exhibits at each venue.

On display will be traditional shaping machines, such as the SCG122SN coarse gauge machine and workhorse SSR112, as well as the SRY123LP machine with loop presser beds capable of hybrid knitÂweave fabrics. WHOLEGARMENTÂ® producÂ tion is demonstrated by the versatile MACH2S WHOLEGARMENTÂ® knitting machine that can be used for both WHOLEGARMENTÂ® knitting and shaped knitting applications, as well as the compact SWG091N2 WHOLEGARMENTÂ® knitÂ ting machine that is especially suited to knitting accessories and smaller items.

The potential of each of these knitting machines are maximized in combination with the SDSÂONE APEX3 3D design sysÂ tem. At the core of the companyâ€™s â€œTotal Fashion Systemâ€ concept, APEX3 provides comprehensive support throughout the apparel supply chain, integrating production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn development, prodÂ uct planning and design to production and even sales promotion. Especially effective is APEX3â€™s capability to improve on the design and evaluation process with Virtual Sampling. UltraÂrealistic simulation capability on APEX3 allows Virtual Sampling to minimize the significant amount of time, cost and material spent during the sampleÂmaking process. With this new manufacturing model, the production cycle can be shortened to such an extent that onÂdemand production can revolutionize the supply chain to support massÂcustomization and increasing consumer demand for eÂcommerce applications.

The fashion show will feature the newest creations in WHOLEGARMENTÂ® and other knitwear by a local knit designer.
