A system is disclosed for additively manufacturing a structure. The system may include a support and a discharge head connected to and moved by the support. The discharge head may have a wetting mechanism configured to apply a matrix to a continuous reinforcement, an outlet configured to discharge the matrix-wetted continuous reinforcement, and a cure enhancer configured to expose the matrix to a cure energy at discharge. The system may also include a dispenser mounted to the discharge head and configured to selectively advance particles toward at least one of the matrix and the continuous reinforcement, and a processor programmed to regulate the dispenser and affect a parameter linked to the particles in a variable manner along at least a length of the continuous reinforcement.
