PatternAI for knitting units
Your machines need a file, not a picture. A knitting unit runs flat or circular machines that need a stitch-by-stitch program (jacquard, intarsia, structure), not a picture. PatternAI composes the knit design and writes a knit program for the machine, so the pattern is built into the knitting.
The design is composed from a real grammar and held to the house’s look, then digitised into the native machine file — a stitch path, a jacquard card, a knit program, a graded cut marker — and verified against its real format before it ships. No redraw on the way to the floor.
The engine a knitting unit runs
Each engine writes the file its machine reads, from the design you approved.

How it works
01
Set up the job.
Choose the engine, the machine and the fabric or yarn. Every decision after this is made for that setup.
02
Start from anything.
A prompt, your artwork or a live trend. Mathical 1.0 draws the design in your house’s look before any engine runs.
03
Refine it.
Change colour, motif, scale or layout by prompt or with the refine sliders, and keep what already works.
04
Download the file.
The knit engine writes knitout, Shima Seiki and Stoll programs, with gauge, carriers, shaping and transfers planned for the machine you picked.

What changes on your floor
A program, not a picture.
Knit, tuck and transfer are written stitch by stitch, so the pattern is built into the knitting.
Jacquard and intarsia.
Both are composed and written into the program, along with engineered structures.
Motifs that hold on the body.
Scale is set for a stretch fabric, so the pattern keeps its shape when worn.
Your house look, every season.
Designs hold to the unit’s or the buyer’s recurring motifs and palette.
