Open the catalog to page 3Making Ideas Real Planning Sales Promotion Yarns can be scanned-in to extract the yarn image to be used in realistic loop simulations. Brand new yarns can be developed as well, including twisted yarns, mélange yarns, space-dyed yarns and slub yarns. A rich collection of design tools is available for effective support of design work for intarsia, jacquard. Only a single sample is needed to develop a full range of high-quality colorway simulations that maintain the original sense of texture and material. Convert to Stitch Illustrations and photographs can be converted into stitches according...
Open the catalog to page 4Developing New Possibilities Planning Virtual Sampling Sales Promotion Fitting Simulation and Silhouette Evaluation Grading and Instruction Form Output SDS®-ONE APEX4 uses patterns as the basis for shaping a garment. You can create your ideal silhouette without requiring specialized knowledge or experience in fashioning frequency and manual drawing. Patterns are used to perform simulated fitting, allowing evaluation of fitting in 3D. Fabric tension and pressure points can be shown as reference for product comfort and fit. Correct sizing by use of grading software yields an optimum silhouette...
Open the catalog to page 5No Need for Samples Anymore Planning Virtual Sampling Sales Promotion Converting to knit data The pattern is converted to number of stitches by entering density information of stitches. Only SHIMA SEIKI s design system can perform ultra-high-precision 3D simulation of fabrics including dimensional structures and fuzzy textures. Virtual sample data is linked directly to production data, enabling smooth communication between planning and production. Knit Simulation By using actual yarn data, it is possible to perform realistic simulations that can be mistaken for the actual product. Creating...

For further efficiency Creating Knitting Data Patterns are created automatically based on measurements. The patterns are furthermore converted into the correct number of stitches for increased efficiency. Automatic Yarn Carrier Setting Virtual Sampling Sales Promotion Before Knitting Knitting Assist Unfavorable knitting conditions and programming errors are detected beforehand, reducing time spent in troubleshooting.

Open the catalog to page 8Expanding Opportunities Planning Virtual Sampling Sales Promotion Pre-sales Activities By using realistic virtual samples created on SDS®-ONE APEX4, it is possible to forecast demand by taking orders as well as performing surveys in stores and on websites before producing actual products. When posting product images to the web, time is usually spent waiting for the final product before photographing and retouching it. With virtual samples created on SDS®-ONE APEX4, realistic images can be introduced to market instantly, reducing time and cost involved in sample making, photoshooting, and...
Open the catalog to page 9Other Industries As the core of SHIMA SEIKI's Total Fashion System, SDS®-ONE APEX4 caters to various industries besides flat knitting. Simulations can be performed for check, dobby, multiple weave and jacquard patterns. Designs can be produced and repeated, and colorways can be evaluated through simulations. Circular Knitting Embroidery simulation is performed easily by punching function, which converts illustrations into stitches automatically. Simulations can be performed for stripes, structures and jacquards for both single- and double-knit circular knitting machines. Pile Weaving High-...
