The paper presents the results of the experimental and numerical analysis of material destruction of honeycomb cellular structure. Based on the experimental research, the results of numerical calculations regarding the compression process were verified along with the correctness of used constitutive numerical model. The destruction was analyzed for the casting with no structural defects and for the casting with detected porosities. The results were compared to the structural strength of the honeycomb structure manufactured on the CNC machine. The metallic honeycomb structure was manufactured as a casting of Al alloy in the investment casting technology. For manufacturing purposes the honeycomb model was obtained in additive manufacturing process. The castings and the CNC honeycomb were used in the compression test trials. The process was controlled by the displacement and the results were registered as the changes of the height and the force value. Based on the experimental results the numerical model of honeycombs was introduced for the numerical analysis of the energy absorption and compression process. The results showed good correlation between the experiment and FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis.
