Notes on Material Machining Performance
Aluminum and ABS are easily machined with high feed rates and minimal tool wear, ideal for automated high-volume runs. Steel and nylon require optimized tool paths and coolant strategies; steel demands robust tooling for tight tolerance work, while nylon benefits from sharp tools and chip control to avoid melting. 5-axis systems enable complete machining of complex geometries in a single setup, critical for maintaining tight tolerances in aerospace and medical components.

From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype employs a streamlined CNC automation workflow designed to maximize efficiency and quality for B2B clients. This integrated process eliminates traditional bottlenecks while maintaining rigorous engineering oversight at critical stages.

The process initiates with secure CAD file upload via our client portal. We accept industry-standard formats including STEP AP203/AP214, IGES, Parasolid, and native files from SolidWorks, Creo, NX, and Fusion 360. All uploads undergo automated validation for geometric integrity and unit consistency before entering the quoting phase.

Our AI Quote engine analyzes the validated CAD geometry alongside client-specified parameters to generate instant preliminary pricing and lead time estimates. This system leverages historical production data from 50,000+ completed CNC projects and real-time machine utilization metrics. Critical inputs driving the AI calculation include:

Parameter	Required Input Format	Impact on Quotation
Material	ISO standard grade	Raw material cost & machining time
Quantity	Integer	Setup amortization & batch logic
Tolerance	ISO 2768 or GD&T	Process selection & inspection
Surface Finish	Ra value or standard	Toolpath complexity & polishing

Following AI-generated quoting, all projects undergo mandatory human-led Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review by our applications engineering team. This phase identifies manufacturability improvements such as optimizing wall thicknesses, suggesting alternative tool access strategies, or recommending cost-effective material substitutions. Clients receive a collaborative DFM report with actionable suggestions within 4 business hours, requiring formal sign-off before production release.

Production executes on our network of 127 CNC machines (62% 5-axis, 38% 3-axis) with centralized tool management and automated material handling systems. Key production protocols include:
First-article inspection using calibrated CMMs against client-provided GD&T
Real-time machine monitoring with SPC data logging for critical dimensions
Automated G-code verification via collision simulation software
Dedicated production cells for aluminum, steel, and engineering plastics

Final delivery encompasses comprehensive documentation including first-article inspection reports, material certifications (mill test reports), and as-machined 3D scan data upon request. Shipments are dispatched via tracked logistics partners with climate-controlled options for precision components. Standard lead time from DFM approval to delivery is 7-12 business days for quantities under 500 units, with expedited options available for time-critical projects. All components undergo final dimensional validation against the approved CAD model prior to shipment release.
