Electrospun Fields: 3D Nano-Fiber Material Computation as Design Method

DescriptionElectrospun Fields advances SIGGRAPH’s interest in material computation by framing electric fields as programmable boundary conditions and fiber deposition as a material rendering of invisible forces. It contributes a reproducible UR20 robotic workflow for non-planar electrospinning, enabling ultra-light 3D membranes difficult to achieve with planar setups. By linking conductive scaffold topologies to material behaviors using bio-compatible polymers, this framework opens novel pathways for emergent and expressive computational art and fabrication.
