1. A method of additively manufacturing an object, comprising:
discharging a material from an outlet of a print head to form the object;
moving the print head in a normal direction during the discharging;
exposing the material discharging from the print head to a cure energy at a first location trailing the outlet relative to the normal direction; and
exposing the material discharging from the print head to a cure energy at a second location trailing the first location relative to the normal direction.
