Zusammenfassung:	An additive manufacturing system is disclosed for use in fabricating a structure. The additive manufacturing system includes a support and a print head operatively connected to and moveable by the support. The print head includes a housing (22), a supply module (44) operatively mounted to the housing and configured to hold a supply of continuous reinforcement, an impregnation module (48) operatively mounted to the housing and configured to wet the continuous reinforcement with a matrix, and a clamping module (46) operatively mounted to the housing downstream of the supply module relative to movement of a reinforcement through the print head. The clamping module is be configured to selectively clamp the continuous reinforcement. A controller in communication with the support and the print head is configured to coordinate operations of the support and the print head to fabricate a three-dimensional structure.
