Shima Seiki Europe is offering UKFT members complimentary access to its new digital design software, APEXFiz which allows you to create true-to-life virtual samples and streamline the journey from concept to finished product.

APEXFiz is a complete design-to-product solution created to help you streamline workflows, reduce costs and make smarter, more sustainable choices.

What is APEXFiz?

With APEXFiz, you can:

  • Take your ideas from concept to final product without unnecessary delays

  • Make informed design decisions before knitting a single swatch

  • Reduce sampling costs and lead times

  • Improve sustainability through virtual prototyping

The software enables you to create highly realistic digital yarns, textures, and patterns, and then apply them instantly to 3D garment simulations. The results are so accurate, your customers will feel as though they are looking at the finished piece.

APEXFiz is not limited to knitwear, it now includes design tools for socks, woven fabrics and print within the same platform.

The exclusive UKFT member package includes:

  • Three-month free trial of APEXFiz

  • Free online training to get you up and running

  • Follow-up mini audit with a Shima expert to review your workflow and demonstrate how APEXFiz can deliver tangible benefits in cost reduction, speed, and sustainability
