A sheet metal assembly includes a drawn metal sheet constructed of a metal material. The drawn metal sheet defines a surface and includes one or more stiffening features disposed along the drawn metal sheet. The one or more stiffening features represents a raised area disposed along the surface of the drawn metal sheet. Each of the one or more stiffening features include a predefined draw depth ranging from about twenty millimeters to about eighty millimeters.

A spacer structure for a sandwich construction, formed from a material web which is provided with a plurality of cuts and which has a material web plane as a first plane, wherein, by forming the material web, at least one support platform is formed in portions which is spaced at a distance from the first plane and is arranged in a second plane. Spacing elements run along a direction of extent (Ε) from the first plane into the second plane in the transition zone from the first plane into the second plane and thus the spacing elements space the first plane apart from the support platform, the spacing elements having a twist about the direction of extent thereof along the direction of extent thereof (Ε), the twist being formed by the shaping of the material web being performed as bending.

In a corrugated plate manufacturing apparatus, each of a plurality of primary forming punches includes a plurality of primary pressable portions that are arranged one after another in a slider reciprocating direction and are pressable by a corresponding one of a plurality of primary sliders. When the primary sliders are sequentially moved toward one side in the slider reciprocating direction, each corresponding one of the primary sliders presses the primary pressable portions of the corresponding one of the primary forming punches to press the primary forming punch against a secondary die.
