Design and Manufacturing of Exact Electrospinning Collector

The production of nanofibers has attracted a lot of attention; one of the methods of producing nanofibers is electrospinning, which creates Nano-diameter fibers by applying electric force, which is due to the simplicity of the process, low cost, and the ability to use a wide range of materials, it can replace many manufacturing methods. The applications of nanofibers produced by electrospinning include tissue engineering, energy, filtration, and sensors. One of the main components of electrospinning is its collector; the produced fibers are collected on this part. The characteristics of this part of the device have many effects on the obtained fibers. Various types of collectors are made and used for multiple applications. Inspired by how 3D printers work, a collector consists of a movable plate that can move in two dimensions and a needle electrode that focuses the fibers on the desired area, according to the movement of the plate, which can create fibers with the desired design.
