1. A method for producing a graft device, comprising:
(a) imaging an electrospun conduit;
(b) producing image data of the imaged electrospun conduit;
(c) generating a construction signal based on the produced image data; and
(d) delivering a material to produce a covering about the electrospun conduit based on the generated construction signal, wherein the graft device comprises the covering positioned about the electrospun conduit, wherein at least one physical property of the covering is defined by thickness data of the electrospun conduit.
