Shima Seiki to exhibit at Simatex 2016

Shima Seiki, Japanese pioneer in manufacturing of computerized knitting machines, is all set to take part in Simatex 2016 in Argentina, from April 5-7.

The company will showcase a wide range of its products, including new proposals in seam-free WHOLEGARMENT knitting technology that offers an option to labour-intensive manufacturing in the South American market. Also on display will be Shima Seiki’s flagship MACH2XS with original SlideNeedle on four needle beds and spring-loaded moveable sinkers. Demonstrations will be performed on the SDS-ONE APEX3 design system that is at the core of the company’s ‘Total Knitting System’ concept. APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from planning and design to machine programming, production and sales promotion. Photo-realistic simulation capability allows virtual sampling to minimize the need for actual sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost while increasing presentation quality in the sampling process, the company release states.
