The projects on this page are intended to provide a general sense of the type and quality of work the CAT lab is capable of producing.  We have done more work and offer more services than the projects shown here demonstrate. Please feel free to contact us for additional project examples or to discuss your project needs.

IDEAS Lab Graphic Design

IDEAS Lab Brand Style Guide
IDEAS Lab T-Shirts
IDEAS Lab Merch
FALCON Logo Icon and Graphics
FRONTIER Labeling Sticker

CAT Lab Graphic Designers created new branding, wordmarks, logos, merch, and more for IDEAS Lab.  These are just a sample of the many IDEAS Lab projects supported by the CAT Lab.

Photography example of trifolds, glider, and other merch
Graphic Design example of trifold brochure for Autonomous Aerospace Research

The Rotorcraft Systems Engineering & Simulation Center uses the CAT Lab for Graphic Design and Photography needs on projects like these.  Again, this is just a small sampling of the work that has been done.

The CAT Lab was hired to create a full website for IDEAS Lab. Our goals for this project included not only the function and aesthetics of the site, but also unification of all project sites and simplification of future updates through development in a CMS.

This RCEU funded project's purpose was to create an accurately detailed 3D model of a GE T700-701D turboshaft engine and design a user-friendly, interactive application to serve as a training aid for flight training and maintenance applications.  The application allows the user to easily inspect the engine in high visual fidelity from any angle, isolate elements of the engine for further inspection, and pull up documentation for specific elements of the engine. 

 Visualizations for Cartilage Restoration Method

This RCEU funded project was focused on developing visualizations to facilitate public outreach for Dr. Anu Subramanian's ongoing medical research using low-intensity continuous-ultrasound (LIUS) for cartilage restoration. After gaining a broad understanding of Dr. Subramanian's LIUS research, we proposed solutions to help visually communicate the research and results through the animated video above.

AGPU

The animation above illustrates how procedures for a Modification Work Order (MWO) could be animated for instructional purposes.  These images were created directly from optimized 3D CAD models produced for the fabrication of the aviation ground power unit. This same process could be used for proof of concept designs, training or system assembly.

MEDEVAC

This project demonstrates a Virtual Reality (VR) training solution to help users understand the process, order, and spatial feel of attaching a Universal Mount to an equipment rack in a medevac helicopter.

Lockheed Martin M142 HIMARS

This Lockheed Martin M142 HIMARS model was created and surfaced by Dave Stewart based on reference photographs. This project was not specifically made for the CAT lab, but does effectly demonstrate the quality of work being produced by our staff.
