YXENDIS, STEIGER knit customer-friendly strategy

Technology leaders YXENDIS (CAD/CAM) and STEIGER (Flat Knitting Machineries) are entering into a close partnership in order to help their customer to make a creative difference, expand their market share and improve their performance. How? By offering  textile companies the opportunity to enhance the creativity of their products, shorten development times and make huge saving in sampling costs.

YXENDIS developed the world première REAL 3-D knit creation and simulation which enable designers to simulate the knitting fabrics (front and back) on screen before sampling process. The 3D true-to-life simulation is made on real size taking into account all technical parameters even the size of the yarns.

A complementary breakthrough technology module for the colour management allows printing simulations everywhere in the world with perfect colour conformity.
