No, lexan is quite flexible; you just have to bend it past the angle you want because of its rigidity. Angles are also hard to get right; I find that the effective bend radius is ~2x the thickness of the lexan when done in a break. It works quite well when done right though.
Heating is only necessary for custom molding (e.g. cylindrical shapes), although it's very difficult to do (a clean job) without experience.
