From CAD to Part: The Process

5 axis machining services

Honyo Prototype delivers precision 5-axis machining services through a tightly integrated digital workflow designed for speed, accuracy, and manufacturability. Our process eliminates traditional friction points between design and production, ensuring optimal outcomes for complex geometries in aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. Below is a detailed explanation of each phase.

Upload CAD
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or native SOLIDWORKS) via our secure customer portal. Our system performs immediate validation checks for file integrity, unit consistency, and geometric completeness. Critical datums, tolerances, and material specifications embedded within the model are automatically parsed. This stage requires no manual intervention, reducing initial lead time to under 15 minutes for file processing and setting the foundation for accurate downstream analysis.

AI Quote Generation
Leveraging our proprietary AI engine trained on 12,000+ 5-axis production runs, the system analyzes the validated CAD geometry to generate a comprehensive technical quotation within 2 business hours. The AI evaluates toolpath complexity, fixture requirements, material utilization, and surface finish demands against real-time shop floor capacity and material costs. Quotes include detailed cost breakdowns by machining operation, explicit assumptions regarding stock material dimensions, and identification of potential high-risk features requiring designer input. This data-driven approach eliminates estimation guesswork and provides transparent cost visibility.

DFM Analysis and Collaboration
Our engineering team conducts a formal Design for Manufacturability review within 24 hours of quote acceptance, focusing specifically on 5-axis optimization opportunities. This phase involves direct collaboration with the client’s design team to address geometric constraints such as deep cavity reach, thin wall stability, and rotational axis interference. We provide actionable recommendations through marked-up 3D models and simulation snapshots, highlighting opportunities to reduce cycle time by 15-30% through minor feature adjustments. All DFM feedback is documented in a formal report with traceable revision tracking, ensuring alignment before metal cutting begins.

Production Execution
Approved designs move to our HAAS UMC-750 and DMG MORI CTX beta 1250 5-axis platforms, equipped with Renishaw probing and high-pressure coolant systems. Each job undergoes rigorous setup validation using master gauge blocks and laser calibration. Machining occurs under controlled environmental conditions with in-process inspections at critical waypoints. For materials like titanium 6Al-4V or Inconel 718, we implement adaptive toolpath strategies to manage heat generation and tool wear. All operations adhere to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D protocols, with full traceability from raw material certs to final inspection reports.

Delivery and Certification
Final parts ship with comprehensive documentation including first-article inspection reports (FAIR) against ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards, CMM coordinate data, and material test certificates. We utilize calibrated coordinate measuring machines for full 3D validation of complex contours, with results mapped directly to the original CAD model for deviation analysis. Standard delivery includes 48-hour shipping with real-time logistics tracking, while expedited options support 5-day turnaround for qualified geometries. Every shipment carries a unique traceability ID linking to digital process records accessible via client portal.

This closed-loop process ensures that 5-axis projects transition seamlessly from digital design to certified physical components, minimizing rework and accelerating time-to-market for technically demanding applications. We treat each engagement as a technical partnership, applying deep machining expertise to transform ambitious designs into production-ready realities.
