Shima Seiki

SHIMA SEIKI is a computerised flat knitting machine manufacturer and solution provider driving digital transformation in the fashion industry with its APEXFiz ® design software.

We provide comprehensive solutions that support the entire knit production process, from planning and design to digital sampling and all the way to production.

APEXFiz ® design software supports digital libraries of yarns and knit patterns, enabling super-realistic knit simulations using actual yarns. For those struggling with their quality of knit simulations in other 3D software, APEXFiz ® provides an effective solution.

Our strength is to provide a direct link from DPC to manufacturing. Moreover, this is not just about accurately conveying design intentions digitally from studio to factory; suppliers can also take advantage of DPC to make proposals and counter-proposals to brands for accelerated product development.

We believe that the use of DPC must not be limited to within the digital realm. Rather, it must facilitate smoother integration with real-world production processes. By doing so, the full potential of DPC can be unlocked, leading to further improvements in cost-

effectiveness. To that end, establishing an operational framework that seamlessly combines both digital and physical aspects will be key.
