The research of hollow sphere structures as absorbers of mechanical energy is described. The first part of the article is devoted to the description of selective laser sintering additive technique as the optimal method of sample production in the case of laboratory tests. The next part presents the use of computer aided design to create parametric three-dimensional models. Next, the results of experimental tests in the conditions of quasi-static load are presented. Based on the collected data, a qualitative analysis of the structure deformation process was performed and final conclusions are presented.
