Metalworking
Manufacturing at the Competence Center Zurich
Metalworking at Rheinmetall's Competence Center Zurich includes the complete geometry of complex parts and non-separable assemblies using various manufacturing processes, including heat and surface treatment.
We are able to apply complex, multi-stage procedures and processes for the production of mechanical parts and composite materials at a consistently high level. Use our know-how for tailor-made solutions for the production of prototypes and small series. We will be happy to support you at all stages of your project.
