CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
DIAMANT SRL
WHOLEGARMENT is used for knitting shoes with sock-like fit and comfort.
DIAMANT srl is a shoe manufacturer that performs OEM production of high performance sport shoes in addition to its original shoe brand “DMT” in the city of Verona in northern Italy, Veneto.
The "KR1" cycling shoe developed in collaboration with 2018 Italian champion sprinter Elia Viviani is knit on SHIMA SEIKI's SWG091N2 15G WHOLEGARMENT flat knitting machine.
By using 3D knit for the entire upper and reinforcing the inside of the shoe, a comfortable, sock-like fit is realized that softly wraps the foot.
SAFETY & PROTECTION
Beginning with knitted work-glove applications, SHIMA SEIKI currently supports knitting, shaping and cutting of functional fabrics and materials that clear various safety guidelines in industrial, police and security, fire-fighting and military applications. These include such features as cut-resistance, heat-resistance, electrical insulation and chemical resistance.

SPORTS
Nowadays professional-grade equipment is becoming increasingly popular even among the amateur and recreational sports markets. Knitwear features superior stretch characteristics, and furthermore seam-free WHOLEGARMENT 3D shaping technology offers ideal fit and comfort. In addition, since WHOLEGARMENT knitwear can be produced in its entirety with very short leadtimes, made-to-measure custom sportswear can be produced to provide ideal fit for individual athletes.
WHOLEGARMENT Shoe
Knitted shoe uppers are usually of the cut-and-sew variety, but lately there are shaped uppers gathering attention in the market. WHOLEGARMENT shoe uppers are produced without seams in one entire piece, offering ideal fit shaped to the foot.

HEALTHCARE
In the medical and healthcare industry, fit and comfort from elastic knitwear and WHOLEGARMENT 3D shaping technology offer great potential. WHOLEGARMENT compression knitwear based on 3D body scans allow custom-fit comfort for individual patients. Cushions using resilient spacer fabrics are also receiving attention in healthcare.

Compression Wear
Body scan data is converted to 3D data on the design system, and garment patterns are produced. A knitting program is produced based on those patterns, allowing a custom-fit garment to be produced on a WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine. By varying material and stitch structure, small adjustments can be made to compression rate and location, allowing such medical applications as treatment of lymphedema and other conditions.
