SHIMA SEIKI is a leading manufacturer of computerised flat knitting machines and solution provider driving sustainability and digital transformation in the fashion industry with its APEXFiz® design software. We provide comprehensive support for the entire knit production process, from planning and design to extremely realistic digital sampling and all the way to knit manufacturing. Beyond knits, APEXFiz® also supports design and simulation for other textiles such as weaving and embroidery as well.
Services
In DPC, the quality of the simulated fabric varies from software to software, and the realism SHIMA SEIKI’s knit fabric simulations and 3D virtual samples provide is arguably second to none. The secret to this realism lies in the fact that DPC on APEXFiz® is based on actual yarn. For those struggling with their quality of knit simulations in other 3D software, APEXFiz® provides an effective solution. In addition, as a manufacturer of production machinery, we are able to provide a direct link from DPC to manufacturing, allowing real-life producibility of digital products.
