The amount you can bend the panel depends on the thickness of the skin and its composition.  For example, a single layer of 200gsm twill carbon could be bent 180 degrees over a radius of around 100mm or even less. Smaller angles you might get a tighter radius of curvature.

If you knew where your bends are going to be, you could even engineer in a thinner laminate on a strip around the bend line .
