Abstract

A system is disclosed for additively manufacturing a structure. The system may have a support, and a print head operatively connected to and moveable by the support. The print head may include a first module configured to discharge a material, a second module configured to compact the material as it discharges from the first module, and a controller in communication with the second module. The controller may be configured to determine an as-discharged characteristic of the material, and to selectively adjust a force of the second module based on the as-discharged characteristic.
