We want access to silence in everyday life to become as easy as access to knowledge through books.
Sil&Add at a glance
Sil&Add is a start-up specializing in the development of innovative acoustic materials and their integration into products to make them quieter.
The company was founded in 2023 in Le Mans, France.
Our mission is to solve noise problems while minimizing the associated trade-offs: price, weight, size, environmental impact.
To achieve this, we apply our expertise in additive manufacturing, acoustic materials and metamaterials, and multiphysics modeling to develop new materials, components and multifunctional products tailored to your needs.
Sil&Add has its origins in its founder's thesis. From 2017 to 2020, I worked with the Laboratoire d'Acoustique de l'Université du Mans (LAUM - UMR CNRS 6613), the Laboratoire d'Analyse Vibratoire et Acoustique de Polytechnique Montréal (LAVA), and French engine manufacturer Safran Aircraft Engines.
My research focused on the development of new multifunctional acoustic materials to reduce noise in future aircraft engines, using additive manufacturing. This work led to the creation of materials with remarkable acoustic and mechanical properties.
Following this thesis, and a year as a post-doc, I embarked on the Sil&Add adventure, supported by the LAUM and accompanied by Le Mans Innovation and SATT Ouest Valorisation.
