From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype delivers precision CNC machined desktop-scale components through a rigorously controlled digital workflow designed for speed, accuracy, and manufacturability. Our process eliminates traditional quoting bottlenecks while ensuring engineering integrity from initial upload to final shipment.

CAD File Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) or 3D PDFs via our secure customer portal. Our system immediately performs automated validation checks for file integrity, unit consistency, and geometric completeness. Critical parameters including material specifications, surface finish requirements, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) are extracted. Unresolved ambiguities trigger an immediate notification to the client for clarification before progression.

AI-Powered Instant Quoting
Validated CAD data feeds into Honyo’s proprietary AI quoting engine, trained on 12,000+ historical CNC machining projects. The system analyzes part geometry, material density, feature complexity, and tolerance stringency to generate accurate cost and lead time estimates within 90 seconds. Unlike basic calculators, our AI factors in machine-specific capabilities, toolpath complexity, and secondary operation requirements. Clients receive a transparent breakdown of machining hours, material costs, and finishing operations before formal commitment.

Engineering-Led DFM Analysis
Every project undergoes mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by our senior CNC engineering team. This phase identifies and resolves potential production issues through collaborative client engagement. Key focus areas include:

DFM Parameter	Typical Issue Identified	Honyo Resolution Approach
Wall Thickness	< 0.5mm features in aluminum	Recommend geometry modification or alternative material
Tolerance Stack-Ups	Conflicting GD&T callouts	Propose revised tolerance scheme meeting functional requirements
Tool Access	Deep cavities with narrow radii	Suggest chamfers or alternative machining sequence
Material Utilization	Excessive raw stock waste	Optimize part orientation and nesting

The DFM report includes annotated 3D models highlighting suggested modifications with engineering rationale. Clients approve revisions digitally before production release.

Precision CNC Production
Approved designs move to our climate-controlled machine shop featuring 28 Haas and DMG MORI centers. Desktop components typically utilize our:
5-axis vertical machining centers for complex organic shapes
High-speed CNC lathes with live tooling for turned/milled hybrids
Dedicated deburring and finishing cells

All operations follow documented work instructions with in-process inspections at critical stages. First-article inspection reports (FAIR) using Zeiss coordinate measuring machines are provided for quantities exceeding 10 units. Material traceability is maintained via serialized barcoding from raw stock to finished part.

Quality-Controlled Delivery
Completed orders undergo final validation against original specifications including:
Dimensional verification per ASME Y14.5
Surface roughness testing (Ra/Rz)
Visual inspection for burrs or handling damage

Parts are packaged in anti-static ESD-safe containers with custom foam inserts for fragile desktop components. Shipping includes real-time logistics tracking and full documentation package (certificates of conformance, material test reports, FAIRs). Standard lead time for desktop-scale CNC projects is 5-7 business days from DFM approval, with expedited 72-hour options available for qualifying geometries.
