1. Design preparation
Design preparation involves the initial planning
and development of the design ideas. This
includes inputting the design into the CAD
system. The knitting CAD system is specific to
the industrial knitting machine. For Shima
Seiki knitting machines the CAD system is SDSONE.

program is

Within the
Knit-design
program there
is a library of

architectures,
which can be

structures
3. Design Processing
The design is processed and saved to a formatted disc or
network to ensure the knit program can be read by the
knitting machine. In processing, the knit parameters
are set and the machine type to be used is specified.
The knit parameters are based on the option lines and
can include for example economisers (repeat sizes),
digital stitch and takedown values and the selection
of yarn carriers.
4. Knitting
The knitting machine is set up. Yarn is selected
and threaded through the tension devices to
the yarn carrier. Then the knit program is
selected, read, and knit parameters set and/or
adjustments made via the machine display
panel. The knit program is then knitted.
Package programming
Package is an extension of basic programming. Through
the use of Package software, the programming of a
design is simplified. Package software uses a system of
registered colours, with each colour (and number)
representing a different knit package or combination
of stitches. Package allows for complex design
outcomes, particularly 3D seamless knitting, to be
more readily visualised and communicated in a
simplified 2D format.

2. Compressed pattern
The garment design is translated into programming
language. The compressed pattern consists of three
parts; (i) the base pattern, (ii) the front design area
and (iii) back design area. The base pattern provides
the information on the overall garment shape or
structure. This information includes variations with
front and back, such as necklines or variations required
for a cardigan type garment.
3. Developed pattern
The Compress Pattern is expanded to become the
Developed Pattern. The process of expanding the
pattern combines the three parts of the Compressed
Pattern and develops each package. This process is
semi automatic and is achieved by using the processing
procedure of Package development. Developing the
packages converts the program to the standard Shima
Seiki colour code language, where one colour per
square equals one stitch type.
