Benefits of APEXFiz® PGM
User-friendly operation
Pattern CADs typically operate based on lines that make up each pattern.
APEXFiz® PGM on the other hand operates on the principle of the "plane," or "surface" of each pattern.
Instead of working with lines and points, the patternmaker can manipulate entire patterns, just like in manual patternmaking.
The user-friendly software menu can also be customized.
Smooth integration of PGM software
Switching between the three software for patternmaking, grading, and marking is seamless.
If the master pattern is modified after marker data and grading data are created,
the data is automatically updated for improved efficiency.
High compatibility with cutting machines (CAM)
APEXFiz® PGM is equipped with functions for controlling cutting machine operation as well as for modifying data for efficient cutting.
Based on the unique perspective that only a CAM manufacturer can offer,
it provides a smooth production flow in conjunction with SHIMA SEIKI's "P-CAM®" series, contributing to improved cutting accuracy.
APEXFiz® realizes digital transformation (DX) in the planning process,
facilitating sustainable manufacturing.
We provide solutions for individual situations and needs.
