Growing Coils and Transformers

[Turtle]

I have this idea bumping around, and I don't know if anyone is doing this or not. Here goes.
Electricol coils, whether in motors, transformers, or what-have-you, are made by winding insulated wire around a form. Given the computer guided machines used in microchip & machine parts manufacture, can we use that to construct or "grow" electrical coils without using wires? If so, what different shapes than that allowed by winding wire may afford higher efficiencies or variously shaped fields?
Discuss.

So far I have nothing about making coils (inductors) other than by the means of winding insulated wire. This following link contains some excellent background information on the structure and operation of coils:

A Google search of this thread title returns this thread at the top and these statistics; Web Results 1 - 10 of about 20,400 for growing coils and transformers

To clarify, I am proposing building a coil by means of super-position of multiple mapped layers composed of unit segments where each segment is either an insulator or a conductor.

sounds cool, let us know the progress, I would help where I can, but I dont know much except about basic induction.
