Abstract: A system is disclosed for additively manufacturing an object. The system may include 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, and an actuator connected to the second module and configured to apply a force to the second module. The system may further include a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller may be configured to determine an operating parameter of the print head, and to selectively adjust the force applied by the actuator to the second module based on the operating parameter.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for additively manufacturing a structure. The system may have a pedestal, a motion platform mounted to the pedestal, and a print head coupled to the motion platform. The system may also include an enclosure at least partially surrounding the motion platform and the print head, and a print surface configured to selectively dock with the pedestal.
