Leading flat knitting solutions provider Shima Seiki will exhibit at the Brazilian Textile Industry Fair (FEBRATEX 2024) this month. On display will be a roundup of the Japanese company’s computerised flat knitting technology, represented by the latest WHOLEGARMENT knitting machines, conventional shaped knitting machines, glove knitting machine and design software.

The flagship SWG-XR WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine features the company's original SlideNeedle on four needle beds supporting a wide range of high-quality WHOLEGARMENT knitting in all needles.

MACH2VS and N.SVR183 are conventional V-bed machines capable of WHOLEGARMENT knitting in every other needle. N.SIR123SP features a special loop presser bed and is capable of producing unique woven-like hybrid fabrics as well as technical textiles. The SVR and N.SSR workhorse machines set the industry benchmark for shaping machines, with SVR 202 featuring tandem knitting capability for flexible operation. N.SSR072 is a new machine that specialises in knitting of collars, shown for the first time in Brazil. The SFG fully automatic glove knitting machine rounds out the comprehensive lineup.

APEXFiz subscription-based design software supports the creative side of fashion from planning and design to colourway evaluation, realistic fabric simulation and 3D virtual sampling. Virtual sampling is a digitized version of sample making, accurate enough to be used effectively as prototypes. By replacing physical samples, virtual samples reduce time, cost and material that otherwise go to waste. APEXFiz thereby helps to realize sustainability and digitally transform the fashion supply chain.
