Possibly their not stellar attempt with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Corporation?

Score-and-fold was quick and easy for the prototype. I wonder what might be different by the time the production line rolls. Hydroforming comes to mind. I watched this, this morning:

SpaceX Pops Out Starship's Buckled Steel (Time Lapse).

IDK if rolling the longitudinal edges would help or hurt the re-attachment of the vortexes that control the airflow.
