From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Aluminum Part Procurement Process

Our streamlined workflow for aluminum part procurement begins with digital submission and culminates in certified delivery, engineered for speed and precision in low-to-medium volume production. The process eliminates traditional quotation bottlenecks while ensuring manufacturability and quality compliance.

Upload CAD
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral-format CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) via our secure customer portal. The system automatically validates file integrity, extracts geometric metadata, and assigns a unique project ID. This phase requires no manual intervention, reducing initial processing time to under 5 minutes. All uploaded data undergoes encryption per ISO 27001 standards, with version control maintained throughout the project lifecycle.

AI-Powered Quotation
Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the CAD geometry, material specifications, and tolerances against real-time shop floor data, including machine availability, material costs, and labor rates. Unlike static quoting tools, the system cross-references historical production data from 12,000+ completed aluminum projects to predict machining time within 95% accuracy. Quotes—including detailed cost breakdowns for milling, turning, or hybrid processes—are generated in under 2 hours. Critical parameters like surface finish requirements or geometric dimensioning directly influence the calculation, ensuring no hidden costs emerge later.

DFM Analysis and Collaboration
Every quote triggers an automated Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review. The AI identifies potential issues such as non-optimal wall thicknesses, problematic undercuts, or tolerance stack-ups specific to aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6 or 7075-T6). Engineers then conduct a secondary human review, providing actionable feedback within 24 hours. Clients receive an interactive DFM report with annotated 3D models showing suggested modifications—such as adjusting fillet radii to reduce tool deflection or consolidating features to minimize setups. This collaborative phase typically reduces iteration cycles by 65% compared to industry averages.

Production Execution
Upon client approval, work orders route directly to our CNC facility. All aluminum stock is certified to AMS 4027 or equivalent standards, with full material traceability via QR-coded barstaging. Machining occurs on HAAS or DMG MORI centers with in-process probing for first-article validation. For complex geometries, we deploy 5-axis milling with vacuum-chuck fixturing to prevent deformation in thin-walled parts. Every operation adheres to AS9100-compliant work instructions, with real-time machine monitoring ensuring dimensional stability. Secondary processes like anodizing or bead blasting are managed through pre-qualified partners with batch-level quality documentation.

Delivery and Certification
Final inspection includes CMM verification against the original CAD model, with full FAI reports per AS9102. Parts ship with material certs, process validation records, and dimensional reports in a tamper-evident package. Delivery timelines are guaranteed via our hub-and-spoke logistics network, with standard lead times of 7-10 days for milled aluminum prototypes. For urgent requirements, our Rush Program achieves 72-hour turnaround from CAD approval to shipment, leveraging dedicated machine cells.

Process Efficiency Comparison
The table below quantifies key differentiators versus conventional prototyping suppliers:

Phase	Traditional Supplier	Honyo Prototype	Improvement Driver
Quote Generation	3-5 business days	<2 hours	AI engine with live shop floor data
DFM Iterations	2-4 cycles	0-1 cycle	Predictive manufacturability scoring
Material Sourcing	Client-provided	In-house certified stock	Pre-negotiated aerospace-grade inventory
First Article Lead Time	14-21 days	7-10 days	Integrated production planning

This end-to-end digital thread—from CAD upload to certified delivery—ensures aluminum parts meet stringent functional requirements while accelerating time-to-test by up to 50%. Our process is optimized for engineering teams needing reliable prototypes for validation, with zero compromise on material integrity or dimensional accuracy.
