Accelerating Digital Fabric Sourcing | Shima Seiki | PI Apparel

Digital Product Creation Software is increasingly used in the fashion industry to streamline developments, minimize sampling time/waste, visualize products and make decisions before having physical samples on-hand. But the effectiveness of digitalization also depends on how much time it takes to prepare the actual digital fabric data and how effective the communication is with the manufacturer. Although many platforms streamline readily available fabrics in the market and can visually represent digital products on screen, it does not account for a new fabric development, design/pattern/color modifications, nor any fabric manufacturing reference. In recent years, the allocation of physical fabrics and materials is becoming increasingly troublesome from issues related to logistics, costs, and carbon footprint. In response, this session features Hayato Nishi, PR Manager from SHIMA SEIKI U.S.A. Inc., and Manami Hayashi, Chief System Consultant, Total Design Center @ SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD, to showcase ways the APEX can “Accelerate Digital Fabric Sourcing for 3D Digital Product Creation”.
