From CAD to Part: The Process

austin cnc

Honyo Prototype’s standardized CNC machining workflow for all regional facilities including Austin follows a rigorously defined sequence to ensure quality and efficiency. This process applies uniformly across our global network with regional fulfillment centers handling localized production demands. The complete workflow is detailed below.

CAD Upload and Initial Processing
Clients initiate the process through our secure online portal by uploading native or neutral CAD formats including STEP IGES and Parasolid. The system performs immediate file validation checking for geometric integrity unit consistency and manufacturing readiness. Invalid submissions trigger automated notifications with specific error diagnostics requiring client correction prior to progression.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Validated CAD files enter our proprietary AI quoting system which analyzes over 200 geometric and material parameters. This includes automated feature recognition tolerance mapping and material utilization calculations. The AI generates preliminary cost estimates within 90 seconds incorporating real-time machine availability raw material pricing and regional labor rates specific to the Austin facility. All AI outputs undergo mandatory engineering review before client submission.

Engineering DFM Analysis
Following quote acceptance our Austin-based manufacturing engineers conduct comprehensive Design for Manufacturability analysis. This phase identifies critical issues requiring resolution before production commences. Key focus areas include:

DFM Category Specific Checks Resolution Protocol
Geometric Feasibility Undercuts thin walls complex cavities Recommend design modifications or alternative processes
Tolerance Stackup Interdependent GD&T callouts Propose achievable tolerances with capability data
Material Constraints Aluminum steel titanium alloy suitability Suggest material substitutions if necessary
Tool Access Feature depth to width ratios Redesign suggestions for tool reach limitations

Engineers collaborate directly with clients to address flagged items through our digital markup system requiring formal sign-off on all modifications. No production begins without documented DFM approval.

Production Execution
Approved designs move to the Austin production floor where our certified machinists execute the workflow. Each part receives a unique digital work order tracking all process parameters. Key production phases include:
Material verification against AMS and ASTM standards
Precision CNC machining on Haas DMG MORI and Makino equipment
In-process CMM inspections at critical stages
Post-processing operations including deburring surface finishing and optional anodizing

All machining parameters are recorded in our MES system with full traceability from raw material to finished component. Austin facility maintains ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications ensuring aerospace-grade compliance.

Quality-Controlled Delivery
Final inspection occurs using Zeiss coordinate measuring machines with full FAIR documentation provided. Parts undergo dimensional verification material certification and visual inspection per ASME Y14.5 standards. Upon clearance logistics coordinates shipment through our partnered carriers with real-time tracking. Standard lead time for Austin-based CNC projects is 7-12 business days from DFM sign-off with 98.7% on-time delivery performance over the past 12 months. All shipments include digital quality dossiers accessible through our client portal.
