Supporting high-quality flat knitting simulations.
SHIMA SEIKI's SDS-ONE APEX3 can be used to design flat knitting patterns including structure patterns, intarsia patterns and jacquard patterns. It can also perform realistic simulation of yarn such as mohair yarn, slub yarn and shiny yarn, taking into account plating, number of thread take-ups and counts. It also improves production efficiency with a database of more than 1,000 structure patterns, which are linked with the KnitCAD software for SHIMA SEIKI knitting machines. SDS-ONE APEX3 offers comprehensive support for each stage in the flat knitting supply chain, from knit planning, pattern design and colorway evaluation to production and even sales promotion. It is an optimal design system for all types of knit production, for knit manufacturers, planning companies, OEM and ODM manufacturers, trade firms, yarn traders, interior designers and sundry manufacturers.
