Shima Seiki's SDS-ONE system is a fully integrated knit production system. It includes programs like Knit-Paint and Knit-Design that allow for complex knit design and programming. There are several steps to the knitting process using SDS-ONE: 1) design preparation, 2) programming the design which involves inputting stitch patterns, option lines, and development assignments, 3) design processing, and 4) knitting. Package programming and WholeGarment technology further simplify programming complex 3D seamless knits through use of pre-defined stitch packages.
