Digital electrospinning array

A system for weaving electrospun nanofibers, the system comprising:

• an array of individually addressable electrospinning nozzles, the array wettable by liquid nanofiber material, each nozzle having:
• an orifice for forming a meniscus of the liquid nanofiber material at the nozzle;
• an electrode for selectively applying voltage at the nozzle to modulate an electrostatic charge of the liquid nanofiber material;
• an actuator for selectively controlling pressure at the nozzle, the actuator responsive to electrical control signals;
• and
• a channel in communication with the nozzle and in communication with the orifice for feeding liquid nanofiber material to form the electrospun nanofibers;
• and
• a controller in communication with the electrodes and actuators for each nozzle to selectively and digitally apply and modulate the voltages to individually control the electrostatic charge at each nozzle to allow a fiber of the liquid nanofiber material to move between nozzles while being created and the controller to selectively control the actuator at each nozzle with signals separate from the signals to the electrodes to control the electrostatic charge.
