From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype’s CNC machining process for high-precision components follows a rigorously defined workflow designed to optimize quality, reduce lead times, and minimize cost inefficiencies. Our integrated approach ensures technical feasibility is validated early while maintaining transparency throughout the project lifecycle. Below is the detailed sequence:

CAD Upload and Initial Review
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral format CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) via our secure customer portal. Our system performs an automated integrity check for geometric completeness, unit consistency, and manufacturability flags. This step eliminates 30% of common file-related delays before human intervention.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Uploaded geometry is processed through our proprietary AI quoting system trained on 15,000+ historical CNC projects. The algorithm analyzes feature complexity, material requirements, tolerance density, and setup frequency to generate a technically accurate cost and lead time estimate within 90 minutes. Critical outputs include:
Material utilization efficiency percentage
Predicted machine hour allocation
Risk assessment for geometric challenges (e.g., thin walls, deep cavities)
Unlike manual quoting, this reduces estimation variance to under 5% while identifying potential cost drivers upfront.

Engineer-Led DFM Collaboration
Following quote acceptance, our manufacturing engineers conduct a formal Design for Machinability review. This is not a passive checklist but an active collaboration where we:
Propose geometric modifications to reduce secondary operations (e.g., chamfer standardization, draft angle adjustments)
Validate tolerance stack-ups against GD&T specifications
Recommend alternative materials for improved chip evacuation or thermal stability
Document all suggestions with annotated 3D models for client approval
This phase typically reduces production iterations by 65% and cuts raw material waste by 22% through optimized stock sizing.

Precision Production Execution
Approved designs enter our climate-controlled machine shop with full digital work order traceability. Key production parameters include:

Parameter Capability Range Quality Control Method
Tolerance ±0.005mm to ±0.05mm CMM validation per ASME Y14.5
Materials Aluminum 6061-T6, 7075; Steels 4140, 17-4PH; Plastics PEEK, Delrin Material certs + batch verification
Machine Types 3/4/5-axis mills, Swiss lathes, wire EDM Real-time tool wear monitoring
Throughput Prototypes: 24-72h; Low-volume: up to 500 parts/week Automated cycle time logging

All processes adhere to ISO 9001:2015 protocols with first-article inspection reports provided before full production release.

Certified Delivery and Documentation
Finished components undergo final dimensional verification against the original CAD model. Each shipment includes:
Material test reports with traceable heat numbers
FAI documentation per AS9102B for aerospace clients
Surface roughness validation (Ra values) for critical features
Packaging compliant with ASTM D4169 for transit protection
Parts are shipped via tracked logistics with delivery confirmation, while digital records are archived for 10 years to support compliance audits.

This closed-loop methodology consistently achieves 99.8% on-time delivery and reduces time-to-prototype by 40% compared to industry benchmarks through elimination of rework cycles. The integration of AI validation with human engineering expertise ensures technical risk mitigation without sacrificing agility for complex CNC projects.
