I find this statement a little out there given the context of the conversation. Perhaps you care to clarify?
I found a couple sources that confirm these numbers: http://www.usplastic.com/knowledgeba...contentkey=446
Wherein the minimum bend radius for .125in pc is 12.5in, 100x material thickness! I have only heard of teams having success with hot-bending PC, but I would be very interested to see good cold-forming results.
