Plastic core structure manufactured through twin sheet technology

A twin sheet molded plastic core structure comprising:

• first and second identical molded plastic sheets each having a two-dimensional array of open receptacles formed therein on both sides of each of the first and second identical molded plastic sheets, wherein the open receptacles have sidewalls sloping inwardly to planar floors having inner and outer surfaces, wherein openings in the array of open receptacles on both sides of the twin sheet molded plastic core structure are surroundingly bordered by orthogonal sets of ribs forming cruciform lands with inner and outer surfaces, the inner surfaces of the cruciform lands having a larger dimension than the outer surfaces of the planar floors in each of the first and second identical molded plastic sheets;
• said first and second identical molded plastic sheets being joined in a mutually inverted relationship by nesting the sidewalls to adjacent open receptacles and fusing the outer surfaces of the smaller dimension planar floors to the larger dimension inner surfaces of the cruciform lands so as to create peripheral hollows between each fused planar floor and cruciform land combination.
