A process is disclosed for engineering the architectural arrangement and inter-fiber bonding of fibers within an article being molded form a pulp. This allows for optimal structural characteristics and additive disposition within the article. Complex forms can be fabricated, articles so made having regional variations in chemical and physical parameters as well as those defined by the gross structural form of the article. The addition of osmotic gradients as well as electrical and hydrostatic potentials applied during molding control the migration of additives and solvents through the body of the article in preset directions, thereby controlling the spatial arrangements and bonding of fiber material
