How do you drill a perfect 0.02 mm hole in a conductive material? And how do you make sure your user doesn't get lost in there? Together with Almax Easylabs, we developed an advanced EDM drill for lab use, a device that performs effortlessly in a world where precision counts down to five thousandths of a millimeter.
The machine was built to drill gaskets that are subsequently used in high-pressure diamond cells for scientific materials research. Not an obvious job: the challenge was not only in the mechanical refinement, but also in the optical positioning and a UI that feels intuitive even in such a high-tech application.
From stable fine control to real-time visualization, from micro drills that are easy to change to a UI that thinks like the user thinks (but just a little faster) - everything was designed with the end user in mind.
The schedule? Ambitious. The collaboration? Tightly arranged.
Together with Almax Easylabs, we worked in short sprints, based on clear specifications and regular feedback. We developed prototypes, tested user flows in a separate UI environment, and delivered a device that exceeds expectations both technically and visually.
Proud? Absolutely.
This project shows what Pilipili stands for: translating complex technology into smart simplicity and human-centered interactions. And we - together with Almax Easylabs - are quite proud of that.
"Pilipili helped us turn a promising concept into a finished product: technically sophisticated, visually strong and ready for a demanding market. They brought speed, insight and broad expertise. Not a classic supplier, but a true partner in our growth process."
