Wakayama, Japan-based Shima Seiki Mfg Ltd, a global leader in textile technology solutions, will present its innovative APEXFiz design software at the Future Fabrics Expo 2025, held in London on June 24-25 during London Climate Action Week.

Renowned for promoting sustainable material sourcing, the Future Fabrics Expo serves as a hub for eco-conscious innovation in fashion, home, and interior textiles. Shima Seiki’s participation underscores its commitment to driving digital transformation and sustainability within the global textile industry.

At the expo, Shima Seiki will highlight APEXFiz, a subscription-based software that supports the complete creative process from design and planning to realistic fabric simulations and 3D virtual sampling. The platform caters to diverse textile applications including flat and circular knitting, weaving, socks, embroidery, and print. Its standout feature, virtual sampling, offers highly accurate, lifelike digital prototypes that can effectively replace traditional physical samples, significantly cutting down on time, cost, and material waste.

The company will display its virtual sample swatches at both the Curated Textiles Area and the Shima Seiki booth, allowing attendees to experience the realism and expressiveness of digital samples. These swatches aim to inspire not only designers and buyers but also fellow exhibitors seeking to evaluate and present their sustainable fabrics through more eco-friendly and efficient methods.

Through APEXFiz, Shima Seiki is paving the way for smarter sourcing, reduced inventory waste, and a more sustainable fashion ecosystem.
