Our Houston facility is equipped with advanced CNC systems from Haas, DMG MORI, and MAZAK, enabling high-precision production of complex geometries across both prototyping and low-to-mid volume manufacturing runs. All components are machined under strict environmental and process controls to maintain consistency, especially in tight-tolerance applications.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype CNC Manufacturing Process for Houston TX Operations
Honyo Prototype executes a streamlined, technology-driven CNC machining workflow optimized for precision and speed in our Houston TX facility. The process begins with digital CAD file submission via our secure client portal, accepting native formats including STEP, IGES, Parasolid, and native CAD system files (e.g., SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA). Upon upload, our proprietary AI-powered quoting engine analyzes geometric complexity, material requirements, tolerance specifications, and feature density to generate an instant preliminary quote. This system cross-references real-time data on machine availability, material costs from regional Houston suppliers, and labor rates, ensuring accuracy within 95% of final pricing. Crucially, the AI output undergoes mandatory review by a Houston-based manufacturing engineer to validate feasibility and adjust for localized variables such as regional humidity impacts on aluminum alloys or lead times for exotic materials sourced through our Texas supply chain partners.
The Design for Manufacturability (DFM) phase follows immediately after quote acceptance. A dedicated Honyo engineer in Houston conducts a rigorous technical review focused on eliminating production risks specific to CNC machining. This includes verifying tool accessibility for deep pockets, assessing minimum wall thickness against deflection risks, optimizing hole depths to standard drill ratios, and identifying opportunities to consolidate features to reduce setups. Critical DFM parameters evaluated include:
| Parameter Category | Key Checks | Houston-Specific Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Geometric Tolerancing | GD&T callout validity, CMM measurement feasibility | Alignment with AS9102 aerospace standards common in local clients |
| Material Selection | Machinability index, thermal stability | Verification of local supplier stock for 6061-T6, 7075, or 17-4PH stainless |
| Feature Optimization | Undercuts, internal radii, thin walls | Adjustment for vibration control in high-RPM milling of large castings |
Following DFM sign-off, jobs transition to production in our Houston cleanroom-controlled CNC facility. We deploy DMG MORI and Haas 3-5 axis vertical machining centers with Renishaw probing for in-process verification. Each run includes first-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102, with critical dimensions tracked via SPC software. For time-sensitive Houston projects, we prioritize local trucking through our dedicated logistics partner for same-day delivery within a 100-mile radius, while air freight coordination handles national shipments. All deliveries include comprehensive documentation: FAI reports, material certs, and dimensional validation data packaged digitally via our client portal. This integrated process ensures deterministic lead times—typically 3-5 days for prototypes and 7-10 days for low-volume production—with 100% traceability from CAD file to delivered part.
