Panels will bend a reasonable amount, (only way to tell where the limits are is to make samples as there are too many variables) if the load is applied over a few days. Glassing one side, or leaving the core out gives some more options. You need to watch the edges as they tend to bend differently, especially if they have extra laminate or rebates.

Ok, as you pointed out the material dictates the design. SIP construction as a method is not readily amenable to curved shapes. I gave the wrong impression in my admiring the component nature of the panels and how they fit together. The method in which they were bonded, the fiberglass cloth are outside the comparison with Infused Panels and the way the get bonded. I get that.
But you must put curves into a flat panel to get a hull. It's all in the manner of which you bend that curve. How much can you put a curve into an infused panel is the paramount question? How much can a technique be applied to different cabin shapes is where I start to examine what's amenable.
