From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype’s CNC 5-axis manufacturing process is engineered for precision, speed, and seamless integration from initial concept to final delivery. This streamlined workflow minimizes client effort while ensuring manufacturability and quality at every stage.

CAD Upload and AI-Powered Quoting
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) or 3D mesh formats via our secure customer portal. Our proprietary AI engine immediately analyzes the geometry, material selection, tolerances, and surface finish requirements. Unlike basic quoting systems, this AI performs preliminary manufacturability screening against 5-axis machining constraints, identifying potential collisions, undercuts, or fixturing challenges. The system generates a detailed technical quote within 2 hours, including DFM flags, cost breakdown by operation, and realistic lead time estimates—all before human engineering review.

Integrated DFM and Engineering Validation
Quoted projects enter our concurrent DFM phase where senior manufacturing engineers collaborate with the AI findings. This is not a separate approval gate but a value-added refinement step. Engineers validate AI-identified issues, optimize toolpaths for minimal setup changes, and suggest geometry modifications to reduce cycle time without compromising function. Critical DFM checks include:

DFM Check Category	Specific 5-Axis Focus Areas	Client Impact Mitigation
Geometric Complexity	Deep cavities, thin walls, compound angles	Suggests strategic parting lines
Tool Access & Collision	Simulated 5-axis kinematics, spindle interference	Proposes custom fixture solutions
Tolerance Stack-Up	GD&T analysis across rotational axes	Recommends datum alignment strategies
Material Utilization	Raw stock nesting efficiency, chip evacuation paths	Reduces material waste by 15-30%

Clients receive annotated DFM reports with visual markup within 24 hours, enabling rapid iteration. Approved modifications are incorporated directly into the production-ready CAD model.

Precision 5-Axis Production
Validated jobs move to our Haas DMG MORI and Makino 5-axis vertical machining centers. Each part undergoes:
Dynamic fixture setup using Renishaw probes for sub-0.005mm positional accuracy
Real-time tool wear compensation via laser tool setters
In-process CMM verification at critical stages per ISO 2768-mK
Environmental controls maintaining ±0.5°C temperature stability
Our CAM team employs hyperMILL and Mastercam for optimized toolpath generation, leveraging tilt strategies to maintain constant tool engagement and surface finish. Complex geometries requiring multiple setups are executed in a single chucking where possible, eliminating rework errors.

Certified Delivery and Documentation
Finished parts undergo final inspection per AS9102 or client-specific FAI requirements. Delivery includes:
Traceable material certificates and heat treatment reports
Full CMM inspection data in PDF and XML formats
First-article approval packages with dimensional photos
Packaging engineered for international shipment compliance
Standard lead time from CAD approval to doorstep delivery is 7-12 business days for quantities under 50 units, with expedited options available. All processes are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR registered, ensuring compliance for aerospace, medical, and defense sectors. This integrated approach reduces prototyping iterations by 40% compared to traditional vendor workflows.
