15. An additive process machine, comprising:
additive sources distributed across a printing zone, the printing zone having a first end and a second end located opposite from the first end, wherein the additive sources are configured to form predetermined discrete amounts of an additive material on a substrate; and
a substrate holder configured to rotate around a center of rotation with respect to the additive sources; and
a pattern generator configured to operate each additive source to form the predetermined discrete amounts of the additive material on the substrate at an actuation frequency that is proportional to a distance of that additive source from the center of rotation.
