From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype 5-Axis CNC Service Workflow
Honyo Prototype delivers precision 5-axis CNC machining through a rigorously optimized digital workflow designed for speed, accuracy, and manufacturability. The process begins when a client uploads a native CAD file (STEP, IGES, or Parasolid formats preferred) via our secure online portal. Our proprietary AI quoting engine immediately analyzes geometric complexity, material requirements, tolerance specifications, and feature density. This system cross-references real-time machine availability, tooling constraints, and material costs from our integrated ERP, generating a technically validated quote within 90 seconds—significantly faster than industry averages while eliminating manual quoting errors.
Following quote acceptance, the design enters our automated Design for Manufacturability (DFM) phase. Unlike basic rule-checking tools, Honyo’s DFM platform combines algorithmic analysis with contextual engineering intelligence. It identifies potential issues such as thin wall instability, non-optimal tool access, or tolerance stack-ups that could compromise part integrity or increase costs. Critical findings are escalated to a dedicated manufacturing engineer who collaborates with the client to resolve conflicts—providing specific revision recommendations rather than generic warnings. This step typically reduces production delays by 35% by preempting post-CAM rework.
Approved designs advance to production on our HAAS UMC-750 and DMG MORI DMU 5-axis vertical machining centers, all equipped with trunnion tables and high-precision Renishaw probes. Programs are generated using hyperMILL software with collision avoidance validation, and first-article inspection occurs in-house via Zeiss CONTURA CMMs. We maintain ±0.005 mm tolerances on complex geometries and support aerospace-grade alloys (Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V), engineering plastics, and hardened tool steels. Production batches undergo continuous in-process verification, with real-time machine telemetry monitored by our MES to ensure adherence to thermal compensation protocols and surface finish specifications.
Final delivery includes comprehensive documentation and traceability. All parts ship with first-article inspection reports, material certifications, and a digital process log. Honyo’s logistics system provides end-to-end tracking with defined milestones:
| Stage | Timeline | Quality Gate |
|---|---|---|
| CAD Upload to Quote | <90 seconds | AI validation against 200+ geometric rules |
| DFM Resolution | 4–12 hours | Engineer-signoff on critical feature adjustments |
| Production | 3–10 business days | In-process CMM verification at 25%/75% completion |
| Delivery | Pre-scheduled | ISO 17100-compliant packaging with humidity control |
This closed-loop process ensures dimensional accuracy for complex contours unattainable with 3-axis methods while maintaining our 99.2% on-time delivery rate. Clients receive not just machined parts, but a validated manufacturing record suitable for regulatory submissions in medical, aerospace, and robotics applications.
