ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for applying material onto a work piece. In one described method, path storing path data for a predetermined path for applying a material to a work piece is stored in an electronic database. Length data length data for the length of the material to applied to the work piece is stored in an electronic database. A controller determines when to cut the material. Using a material applicator apparatus, the material is applied to the work piece along the predetermined path. Using a cutting component in the material applicator apparatus, the material is cut.
