Principle behind it:
Digitize fibers are bond using metal chopsticks and an electric field.This technique create finished product i.e non-woven textile that flexes, folds and flow like any other fabric we wear. A piece of cloth is created using Field Guided Fabrication (FGF).
FGF is essentially an electrospinning process that takes a liquid solution, converts it into solid fibers that are then deposited and bonded onto a 3D mold. The 3D mold is placed inside a chamber with an internal electric field that guides and bonds the fiber onto the mold. Numerous fibers that have been deposited will have formed a single, seamless piece of fabric that will retains the shape of the mold.For now we can have only limited colors and limited number of fabrics like we can have polyester/cotton blend for now and only white color, but in future we will able to have more colors like blue, yellow, green or so and more fabrics like silk/ acrylic .
