Testimonials
"As the Head of Composites at Zenvo, I sourced composite patterns from Shape Machining due to the lack of local suppliers in Denmark. Their exceptional quality and adherence to delivery times were impressive. This allowed us to keep to our tight production schedule thanks to Shape Machining’s impressive turnaround time. I highly recommend Shape Machining for their high quality and great customer service."
