1. An apparatus for applying a substance as a bead to a geometric feature extending along a path, the apparatus comprising: an outlet end comprising a first edge, a second edge, and an outlet opening at least partially defined by the first edge and the second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge are reversibly extensible; wherein said apparatus is configured to move in a direction along the path while applying the bead on the geometric feature with the first edge or the second edge located on a trailing edge of the apparatus, the trailing edge providing a shape to the bead on the geometric feature while passing over the bead on the geometric feature; the first edge of the outlet end comprises a portion B, a portion C, and a portion D between the portion B and the portion C;the second edge of the outlet end comprises a portion B′, a portion C′, and a portion D′ between the portion B′ and the portion C′;the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is movable relative to the portion C of the first edge; andthe portion B′ of the second edge of the outlet end is movable relative to the portion C′ of the second edge;when the apparatus moves in a direction that the first edge shapes the bead, each of the portion B and the portion C of the first edge contact the bead and form the shape of the bead; when the apparatus moves in a direction that the second edge shapes the bead, each of the portion B′ and the portion C′ of the second edge contact the bead and form the shape of the bead; a substance delivery channel is a passage which conducts the substance to the outlet end, said substance delivery channel is located at least partially in the second component; a first component comprising the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end and the portion B′ of the second edge of the outlet end wherein the first component is made of a rigid material so that the portion B of the first edge and the portion B′ of the second edge are invariable in shape; and a second component comprising the portion C of the first edge of the outlet end and the portion C′ of the second edge of the outlet end, wherein the second component is made of a rigid material so that the portion C and the portion C′ are invariable in shape, and wherein the first component is movable relative to the second component, wherein the first component and the second component are separate components; wherein the first component is movably coupled to second component and said first component is configured to slide along said second component. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: at least one of the portion B and the portion C of the first edge of the outlet end are curved or the portion B′ and the portion C′ of the second edge of the outlet end are curved; andat least one of the first edge or the second edge of the outlet end is contoured to provide a stepless transition along the bead between a first curvature of the bead and a second curvature of the bead. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the second component further comprises the portion D of the first edge of the outlet end and the portion D′ of the second edge of the outlet end; andthe first component is movably coupled to the second component. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising: a reaction block coupled to the second component; andmeans for biasing the first component away from the reaction block. 5. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising a guide member coupled to the second component. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising a guided member coupled to the first component, wherein the guided member is translatably coupled with the guide member. 7. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising means for limiting translation of the first component relative to the second component. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is identical to the portion B′ of the second edge of the outlet end. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is different from the portion B′ of the second edge of the outlet end. the second component further comprises the portion D of the first edge of the outlet end and the portion D′ of the second edge of the outlet end; andthe first component is movably coupled to the second component. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion C of the first edge of the outlet end is different from the portion C′ of the second edge of the outlet end. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion C of the first edge of the outlet end is identical to the portion C′ of the second edge of the outlet end. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the portion D of the first edge of the outlet end has a length L variable from a value V1 to a value V2;the portion D′ of the second edge of the outlet end has a length L′ variable from a value V3 to a value V4;V2 is greater than V1; andV4 is greater than V3. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the value V1 of the length L of the portion D of the first edge of the outlet end is zero. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the value V1 of the length L of the portion D of the first edge of the outlet end is non-zero. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the value V3 of the length L′ of the portion D′ of the second edge of the outlet end is zero. 16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the value V3 of the length L′ of the portion D′ of the second edge of the outlet end is non-zero. 17. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is non-linear, wherein the portion C of the first edge of the outlet end is non-linear, or wherein both the portion B and the portion C are non-linear. 18. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a means for biasing the first component, wherein the portion B moves away from the portion C when the means for biasing the first component is compressed. 19. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is non-linear. 20. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is curved. 21. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion B of the first edge of the outlet end is linear. 22. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portion C of the first edge of the outlet end is non-linear. 23.
