In the Auto BIM Route application project, the team focused on making route interactions smoother and more intuitive. They enhanced the user interface for drawing preferred paths, refined the zoom functionality for consistent proportions and improved route selection by adding visual emphasis and enabling keyboard shortcuts for easier navigation. Additionally, the team assisted in developing…

Auto BIM Route has developed an advanced PCB auto-routing and optimization tool to automatically generate routed circuits on virtual PCB designs, reducing the time and effort needed for routing. However, the current application takes too long to generate and display the routed designs due to the resources required for rendering. This ASU Capstone team aims…

The project focuses on optimizing Auto BIM Route, a construction data visualization tool, by improving its zoom functionality, interaction speed and overall rendering performance. The challenges include an outdated rendering engine that lacks GPU acceleration, limiting performance when processing large DSN files, and the need for deep analysis of the codebase to address bottlenecks affecting…

Boeing is modernizing the cockpit of the Apache attack helicopter, including upgrades such as a larger display and independently movable mission grips. To integrate the mission grips successfully, a mounting assembly is needed that is compatible with both the grips and the aircraft. Our team was tasked with designing and modeling a stable mounting assembly…

Raytheon, an RTX business and a global leader in aerospace and defense, specializes in missile systems manufacturing, with operations based in Tucson, Arizona. Testing missile fin actuation under load is crucial for Raytheon but often consumes significant time and labor without directly enhancing the missile actuation systems. The team was tasked with designing a missile…

To keep pace with advancing technology and evolving wartime tactics, the United States Marine Corps needed a solution to unload materials and equipment from a V-22 Osprey quickly and safely in various environments for Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Forward Arming and Refueling Points. The team designed a device using a commercially available hydraulic floor…
