Robin, the bends are 2m long...
Just thinking, but is there any structural reason why the panels have to be done from 1mm thick sheet?
Could you get away with thinner sheet?
As for dies, given the number of parts you want to make, you could probably get away with dies made from untreated steel, and polished up. I've seen a good few homemade dies used, and they're good for short runs where the durability of commercial dies isn't needed. Still need to find somebody with a big enough press though!
