Abstract

A wire fabrication apparatus includes a number of fluid channels, each fluid channel configured to receive a first portion of a corresponding wire of a number of wires and including a fluid flowing in a first direction therein. A twisting mechanism is configured for attachment to second portions of the number of wires, the twisting mechanism being configured to draw the number of wires from the number of fluid channels in a second direction opposite to the first direction and to twist the number of drawn wires. A controller controls twisting mechanism to form a twisted wire, including controlling the twisting mechanism to draw the number of wires from the number of fluid channels in the second direction and to twist the drawn wire.
