Modeling the unsteady contact of thin spherical shell with the rigid obstacle was carried out. Problem was solved on base of numerical-analytical method with usage of integral representation for the shell points' normal displacements through the influence functions.There was conducted the comparison of modeling results with those of the experimental investigations for polymeric shells made with the layer-by-layer laser synthesis. Influence of the synthesized shell geometry quality on the process of its unsteady deformation under the load was studied.
