Shima Seiki releases knitting data for WholeGarment masks

摘要

In light of the recent worldwide shortage of surgical masks due to the spread of Covid-19, leading flat knitting solutions provider Shima Seiki, of Wakayama, Japan, has released knitting data for producing a 3D-knitted version of the masks on its WholeGarment knitting machines. Data is meant to be for cotton masks knitted on SWG041N2, SWG061N2 and SWG091N2, as well as on the rest of Shima Seiki's compact WholeGarment knitting machines, also known as 'WholeGarment Mini' type machines, that are suited to the production of small accessory items, in 15-gauge. Mask data is available for download from the Shima Seiki Users' Site, an archive featuring over 10,000 knit samples for use by Shima Seiki customers.
