1. A system for additively manufacturing a structure, comprising:

  • an additive manufacturing machine;

    a memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon; and

    a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to;

    cause the additive manufacturing machine to discharge a path of composite material;

    make a determination regarding existence of support located at a side of the path of composite material; and

    selectively cause the additive manufacturing machine to compact the path of composite material after discharge with a lower pressure when the path of composite material is unsupported and a greater pressure when the path of composite material is supported along at least one side.
