Abstract: The invention relates to a method for making a cellular structure (1) comprising a plurality of elements (2), in which method a first plurality of elements (2) is provided that form a first row (3) of elements, and that furthermore a second plurality of elements (2) is provided that form a second row (4) of elements (2). The second row (4) is parallel to the first row (3) but displaced in phase in relation to this. An adhesive is applied to the elements (2) in at least one of the two rows (3, 4) and at least one of the two rows (3, 4) is brought closer to the other, so that the two rows are brought together and thereby bonded to one another by the adhesive. The invention also relates to a machine for executing the method according to the invention.
