Method and device for depositing a fiber material layer on a carrier

Method and device for depositing a fiber material layer on a carrier, such as using an electrospinning process. The device includes a deposition unit positioned remote from the carrier during operation, and the deposition unit is arranged for forming the fiber material layer on the carrier in a continuous manner A carrier feed unit is provided for feeding the carrier in a transport direction with a predetermined speed, and the carrier includes a plurality of carrier plates. A cutting unit is present and arranged downstream from the deposition unit, the cutting unit being arranged to cut the deposited fiber material layer in between two adjacent ones of the plurality of carrier plates.
