Depending on the resin used, the temperature will vary, but you can heat the
part up, either in an oven, hot water, hot air whatever have you and the
material will get soft, you can then straighten it or bend it or whatever. If
it is a complecated shape you would want to create some forms, can be
plywood, plaster whatever to hold the desired shape while the part cools.
Might take a couple of trys, but you can repeat as necessary. Back in the
good old days when warped parts were more common we used to practice this a
lot. Even now, if they are delecate parts you might want to cure them on the
platform, or suspended whatever is appropriate.
Good luck,
