Abstract
A head is disclosed for an additive manufacturing system having a support. The head may include a body connectable to and moveable by the support. The body may have a discharge end configured to discharge a composite material. The head may also include a wetting location inside the body at which a continuous reinforcement is wetted with a matrix to form the composite material, and a fiber-teasing mechanism located inside the body and upstream of the discharge end and the wetting location. The body and fiber-teasing mechanism may be configured to move together during movement of the support.
