Organizes private exhibition in Bangladesh
Shima Seiki , the Japan-based knitting machine provider , organized a threeday ( July 25-28 , 2018 ) private exhibition at the showroom of Pacific Associates Ltd ., in Dhaka , to present value-based , innovative products and new technology for the Bangladesh market . The company invited existing knit factories , buyers , buying houses , circular factories , and sewing factories , with an aim to cater to the need from buyers ’ perspective and thereby lead to a new market structure . Visited by 76 entities , the three-day event witnessed presentations for each product line up , from design system to knitting machine and cutting machine as Total Fashion System , as a solution to the industry . Shima Seiki exhibited a range of WHOLEGARMENT machines including MACH2S , MACH2X173 and SWG091N2 18G , along with other machines like SVR123SP-SV 14G , P-CAM223 and 3D design system , SDS-ONE APEX3 . Typically , a knitted garment consists of separate parts – the front and back body panels and the sleeves – which are sewn together afterwards . In sharp contrast , Shima Seiki ’ s revolutionary WHOLEGARMENT knitwear is produced in one entire piece , three-dimensionally directly on the knitting machine . Consequently it requires no expensive , time-consuming post-production labour , realizing a whole new kind of knitwear that would otherwise require highly skilled sewing labour or even be too
complicated to sew . Because there are no seams to hinder motion , WHOLEGARMENT knitwear is suited to applications outside the realm of fashion as well , such as sports , medical , and other examples of wearable smart technology . Seam-free ‘ second skin ’ fit and comfort , in addition to the sustainable benefits of knitwear that consumes only the material required to produce a single garment , makes WHOLEGARMENT the ‘ ideal knitwear ’. Also exhibited in the three-day event was SDS-ONE APEX3 . As the core system in Shima Seiki ’ s Total Fashion System concept , APEX3 provides comprehensive support for the entire supply chain from planning , yarn design , garment design and evaluation to machine programming and even sales promotion . What makes APEX3 stand out above all other design systems is its realistic simulation capabilities like : Yarn creation and loop simulation : Even the basic element of knitwear – the yarn – can be scanned in or created from scratch to be used in loop simulations . Even yarn count and yarn ends are taken into account for simulations so real that they can replace actual sample making . Patternmaking and grading : APEX3 is equipped with full-featured patternmaking software for producing patterns that allow production of new and unique , highquality WHOLEGARMENT items . Correct sizing by use of grading software yields an optimum silhouette for each size .
