corrugates
Creates parallel grooves
Corrugates means to shape into parallel ridges and grooves, like the wavy pattern on cardboard or a metal roof.
The process adds strength through its accordion-like structure: The machine corrugates sheet metal for roofing panels.
Corrugated materials—cardboard boxes, drainage pipes, tin sheds—are ubiquitous in shipping and construction.
