Preheat an oven en place the sheet in there, or
Put up some water and carefully dunk your PC, or
Use a heat gun and slowly fold the PC.

There are less low-tech ways as well.

I just either cold fold it or go over the section I want to fold with a cigarette lighter before folding it in a vice. Helps to mark a line along where you want to fold it, but only ever mark it with a pen; if you score a line along where you're going to fold then it'll most likely split.

Heat it up slowly or it will bubble and become brittle. Take your time and don't rush it. I Bent some 5mm with a heat gun and it took 10-15 mins, one medium setting, before the area was hot enough to fold.

Polycarb is recommended to be folded cold for structural purposes. Heating polycarb makes it easier but also more brittle. 2mm folds fairly easily.
