Technical translation for software, architecture and digital fabrication systems
The challenge
ETH Zürich is a leading research university specialising in science, engineering and technology.
ETH Zürich is a leading research university specialising in science, engineering and technology.
We worked with them across various projects and disciplines, including highly technical documentation for digital fabrication tools and architectural design software used in research environments. This included documentation and user‑facing materials for R‑O‑B Creator developed by the Gramazio & Kohler research group – covering installation guidance, feature descriptions, pattern‑upload workflows and cross‑platform technical requirements.
Our approach
We combined our engineering and software expertise to preserve accuracy while improving usability thanks to our UX and UI experience. All of the projects required precise terminology in architecture, engineering, Java‑based applications and digital manufacturing, so we performed in-depth research and kept terminology databases.

The result
- Clear, structured technical documentation
- Consistent terminology across disciplines
- Improved usability for global users
The result was clearer, more usable technical documentation – helping ETH Zürich make complex systems easier to understand and deploy across global research teams.
