Abstract
A method for generating a electro spun fiber medical implant including determining dimensions of a portion of anatomy of a patient corresponding to the electro spun fiber medical implant via medical imaging, generating a model of the portion of the anatomy based on the dimensions, the model including one or more solid areas and one or more void areas encompassed within the one or more solid areas, inverting the model to generate a mandrel model, the mandrel model generated based on the one or more void areas, generating the mandrel based on the mandrel model, the mandrel including at least one electrically conductive material therein, and applying an electro-spinning process to the mandrel to generate the electro spun fiber medical implant which circumscribes the mandrel, wherein the mandrel is removable from within the electro spun fiber medical implant after a disassembly process.
