ABSORA is pioneering breakthrough materials that outperform existing solutions in silencing noise and vibration — to protect human health, reduce environmental harm, and accelerate the transition to a quieter, more sustainable world. The technological core of our company is HSA3, a most effective and innovative sheet metal, which is: - light yet extremely rigid - absorbing airborne sound - absorbing vibrations - smoothening airflow - very affordable ​We develop and procure effective and groundbreaking inventions and drive them towards application. Contact us for a design proposal for your specific application! We will be happy to help you. ------------------------ Research & Development: Our current project "Proteus" is co-funded by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund - ERDF) and the State of Berlin through the Pro FIT program. Within this project, we are developing a modular, automated manufacturing system for adaptive tri-functional metamaterials (HSA3). Our goal is to replace conventional, less sustainable absorbers with 100% recyclable metal solutions. Expected results include the validation of high-speed serial production to enhance the circular economy in Berlins industrial landscape.

Material processing with ultrashort laser pulses is currently one of the most innovative production and manufacturing processes, and allows high-precision cutting, drilling and structuring of a wide variety of materials. We aim to expand the application potential of ultrashort pulse laser processing through an innovation: We efficiently use liquids in the laser processing zone, which greatly cools the workpiece and removes ablation products such as particles. As a result, the processing speed can be increased whilst maintaining high precision and achieving significantly cleaner surfaces. Using our years of experience in the field of micromachining with ultrashort pulse lasers in liquids, we are currently working on building a robust industrial laser system. The implementation of this project is supported by the funding of the „EXIST-Forschungstransfer“ (BMWi).
