Systems for applying electrically conductive tape traces to a substrate and methods of use thereof

A system for applying conductive tape to a substrate comprising:

• a segment feeder arm configured to feed segments of conductive tape to the substrate;
• a length of conductive tape comprising a plurality of conductive tape segments;
• a segment placement armature with a segment grasping arm configured to grasp the plurality of conductive tape segments of the length of conductive tape, pivot about a pivot axis, and position the plurality of conductive tape segments of the length of conductive tape on the substrate;
• and
• a roller configured to roll over and apply force onto the plurality of conductive tape segments of the length of conductive tape positioned on the substrate,
• wherein the segment feeder arm feeds the segments of conductive tape towards the substrate and the segment placement armature applies each segment of conductive tape in a predetermined pattern on the substrate and the roller rolls over and applies force onto the plurality of conductive tape segments positioned on the substrate.
