A controlled-volume spray deposition system has a fluid feed system including a pair of bi-directional, counter-rotating rollers to dispense fluid as a first surface, the rollers operable to rotate in a first direction to dispense the fluid, a second surface positioned to receive the fluid when the rollers rotate in the first direction, and the rollers operable to rotate in a second direction to retract the fluid to cause the fluid to stretch and form a filament until it breaks to form a spray. A method of generating a controlled-volume spray includes feeding fluid between two counter-rotating rollers as a first surface as they rotate in a first direction until the fluid contacts a second surface, reversing the counter-rotating rollers such that they pull the fluid to form a fluid filament, and causing the filament to break into a spray.
