Method for producing a multi-layer heat shield which has a first metal layer and a second metal layer with an insulating layer arranged between the metal layers (2, 3), wherein the metal layers (2, 3) are connected on the edge side by a beading, characterisedin that - the first metal layer, the insulating layer and the second metal layer are laid into a first pressing tool, wherein an edge portion of the first metal layer protrudes with respect to an edge portion of the second metal layer and the insulating layer is offset back with respect to the edge portions (7, 8) of the first metal layer and the second metal layer; - shaping the edge portion of the first metal layer and the edge portion of the second metal layer relative to the horizontal plane of the insulating layer, wherein the edge portion of the first metal layer and the edge portion of the second metal layer are bent together in one direction and a protruding leg of the edge portion of the first metal layer is converted, against the forming direction, into a standing seam which has a bent end and a free end; - after which the sandwich formed from first metal layer, insulating layer and second metal layer is transferred into a second pressing tool and is received there between an upper tool and a lower tool and subsequently the pressing tool is closed, wherein the upper tool and the lower tool are moved towards one another and during the closing movement the upper tool comes into contact with the bent end of the standing seam before the free end of the standing seam comes into contact with the lower tool and the standing seam of the edge portion of the first metal layer is beaded to form a turnover around the edge portion of the second metal layer. - the first metal layer, the insulating layer and the second metal layer are laid into a first pressing tool, wherein an edge portion of the first metal layer protrudes with respect to an edge portion of the second metal layer and the insulating layer is offset back with respect to the edge portions (7, 8) of the first metal layer and the second metal layer; - shaping the edge portion of the first metal layer and the edge portion of the second metal layer relative to the horizontal plane of the insulating layer, wherein the edge portion of the first metal layer and the edge portion of the second metal layer are bent together in one direction and a protruding leg of the edge portion of the first metal layer is converted, against the forming direction, into a standing seam which has a bent end and a free end; - after which the sandwich formed from first metal layer, insulating layer and second metal layer is transferred into a second pressing tool and is received there between an upper tool and a lower tool and subsequently the pressing tool is closed, wherein the upper tool and the lower tool are moved towards one another and during the closing movement the upper tool comes into contact with the bent end of the standing seam before the free end of the standing seam comes into contact with the lower tool and the standing seam of the edge portion of the first metal layer is beaded to form a turnover around the edge portion of the second metal layer.
