This Should Help Solve The "Bending Of Plywood" Problem.

This is very interesting.

This is a "neato" tool, but a bit pricey for the home builder I'd
expect:

They're priced in British Pounds so here's a Currency Converter:

They are using it to press multiple layers of ply or MDF onto a curved mould - not to curve plywood round a tighter curve than it could otherwise achieve.

Much the same effect can be achieved by applying a roof panel as two 1/8" skins, glued to each other to form a 1/4" laminated roof.
