Conversion from 3D data to patterning data and knitting data for knitting machines is performed easily. This contributes to personalized medicine as well.
Taking Good Care
— Healthcare —
SHIMA SEIKI supports development in the medical field with state-of-the-art technology.
Unique possibilities in healthcare are offered.
Knit It
Knitwear provides excellent fit,
comfort and stretch characteristics
suitable for medical and nursing fields.
Partial compression and special shaping techniques
further increase knitwear's potential
to support a wide range of medical applications.
Why knit with SHIMA SEIKI?
Healthcare x 3D x Knit
Body shape information is scanned
and converted into 3D data,
which is used to knit WHOLEGARMENT
items three-dimensionally.
Items can be tailored
to the individual body of each patient.
While personalized healthcare is becoming
increasingly popular,
WHOLEGARMENT knitting becomes the perfect solution
with its on-demand custom capability.
Wearable Technology
With WHOLEGARMENT, wearable smart textiles
featuring embedded electronics,
IC tags, and communication antennas etc.
can be produced.
Design It
With the SDS-ONE APEX series design system
and software, designs can be evaluated
during the planning and design stages
using "virtual samples" created by simulations.
The need for sampling is eliminated
because it is realistic enough to be regarded
as an actual product, which can shorten
lead times for product development.
Furthermore, the original data can be used
for programming for the production machine,
and production can be started immediately
after design approval.
Cut It
Production of medical products
can be further automated.
SHIMA SEIKI offers a comprehensive lineup of machines
that supports various customer needs.
