N2 - A novel fiber production system established using principles of the dip drawing process is outlined in this paper, known as track spinning (TS). This system can produce micro- and nanofibers from polymer solutions for use in a variety of applications including filtration and biomedical devices. The system features automated tracks operated by a programmable motion controller in combination with stepper motors to consistently produce nanofibers. Utilizing a lignin-based solution, nanofibers of approximately 700-800 nanometers diameter have been successfully achieved and replicated with this device. TS offers wider compatibility with various solutions, in addition to scalability to fit the needs of the application or product. The TS device could open the doors to wide scale, automated nanofiber production.
