Abstract: The widespread use of additive printing techniques has resulted in substantial savings in time and material compared with previous methods, but there are still many areas where substantial savings may be realized. One of these areas is the operations necessary for the generation of punched paper control tapes for additive printers. There are numerous procedural techniques employed to arrive at the tape for the answer print or first trial print, but subsequent corrections and duplicate tapes are time-consuming and costly to make. The tape-punching system described here has an input keyboard, a master program/display unit and a reader/punch module. It gives noticeably decreased operator errors and substantial manpower savings in the generation and verification of second-, third-, nth-generation tapes, using a compact high-speed optical tape reader and a high-speed, silent eight-channel paper tape punch. Simultaneously uniform hard copy* is produced, whenever desired.
