Leading fashion solutions provider SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. of Wakayama, Japan has posted a new article on “wearware,” the fashion-tech blog site for supporting digitalization and sustainability in fashion design.
Titled “Efficient, High-Quality Sock Production Made Easy with APEXFiz Design-Sox,” the latest article focuses attention on the sock industry as “uniquely well-suited to virtualization,” pointing out its potential to become a spearhead for digitalization among the many product categories in the fashion industry. SHIMA SEIKI aims to accelerate the use of 3D virtual sampling in the sock industry with its latest APEXFiz Design-Sox, a new software package for its APEXFiz subscription software lineup that is specially prepared for sock design, offering “a real chance to say good-bye to physical samples altogether.”
The article also mentions SHIMA SEIKI’s partnership with sock knitting machine producer Lonati S.p.A. for optimizing sock production in conjunction with the company’s ORION sock machine programming software.
Also included is a link for downloading a white paper describing in detail the innovative workflow from design to production combining APEXFiz Design-Sox and ORION (link below), as well as a link for viewing a demonstration video.
