From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Brass CNC Turning Process Overview
Our brass CNC turning workflow is engineered for precision, cost efficiency, and rapid turnaround. Brass alloys like C36000 (free-cutting) and C37700 (forging brass) demand specific machining parameters due to their high machinability and corrosion resistance. Below is our standardized process flow, integrating AI-driven validation with hands-on engineering oversight to ensure zero-defect delivery.

CAD File Upload & Initial Validation
Clients upload native STEP, IGES, or Parasolid files via our secure customer portal. Our system immediately performs automated geometry checks for unit consistency (mm/inch), manifold errors, and non-manufacturable features. Files failing validation trigger instant feedback with error specifics, reducing iterative delays. All brass-specific requirements (e.g., grain direction for pressure-tight parts) must be annotated in the CAD metadata for downstream processing.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Uploaded CAD data feeds our proprietary AI quoting module, trained on 12,000+ historical brass turning jobs. The algorithm calculates:
Material waste based on bar stock diameter optimization
Machine time using alloy-specific cutting parameters (e.g., 500 SFM for C36000 vs. 350 SFM for C37700)
Secondary operation costs (deburring, plating, threading)
Quotes include tolerance capability analysis per ISO 2768-mK, with deviations from standard tolerances (±0.05mm) highlighted for client approval. Typical quote turnaround is under 2 hours.

Engineering-Led DFM Analysis
All quotes undergo mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by our brass machining specialists. This phase addresses:
Wall thickness validation to prevent chatter in thin-walled features (<1.5mm)
Fillet radius optimization for tool nose radius compatibility
Thread depth assessment against brass’s lower shear strength versus steel
Coolant channel placement to manage heat-induced warpage
We provide annotated DFM reports with actionable recommendations, reducing post-approval revisions by 73% based on 2023 operational data. Client sign-off is required before work release.

Precision Production Execution
Approved jobs enter production on our Swiss-type CNC lathes (Tornos SwissNano, Citizen L series) with brass-optimized tooling:
Carbide inserts with polished rake faces to minimize built-up edge
10% soluble oil coolant concentration for superior chip evacuation
In-process probing for critical diameters (e.g., press-fit bores)
Each lot undergoes first-article inspection per AS9102, with full FAI reports available. High-volume runs use SPC monitoring on key characteristics like concentricity (max 0.02mm TIR).

Quality-Controlled Delivery
Final parts proceed through a 4-stage quality gate:
1. CMM verification of geometric tolerances (ASME Y14.5)
2. Surface roughness validation (Ra 0.8µm typical for brass)
3. Material certification cross-check (mill test reports archived)
4. Packaging audit (anti-tarnish VCI paper for brass, non-marring foam)
Shipments include traceability tags linking to machine logs, inspection data, and material certs. Standard lead time is 7–10 days for quantities ≤500 pcs, with expedited options.

Brass Alloy Selection Guidance
Table: Common Brass Grades Processed at Honyo

Alloy	Typical Applications	Max Recommended Length	Key Machining Note
C36000	Valves, fittings, screws	150 mm	Avoid deep axial slots (>3:1 L/D)
C37700	Gears, bushings, hinges	100 mm	Reduce spindle speed for fine finishes
C26000	Electrical connectors	75 mm	Use sharp tools to prevent smearing

This integrated process ensures brass components meet functional requirements while minimizing total cost of ownership. We maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification with dedicated brass machining cells to prevent cross-contamination from other metals.
