From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype CNC Machining Process for Okuma Machines
Honyo Prototype utilizes a streamlined, technology-driven workflow for CNC machining projects executed on our Okuma dual-spindle multitasking centers and vertical machining centers. This process ensures precision, efficiency, and seamless integration from initial design to final delivery, specifically leveraging Okuma’s advanced capabilities such as thermal displacement compensation, rigid tapping, andOSP control systems.
CAD File Upload and Initial Processing
Clients submit 3D CAD models (STEP, IGES, or native formats) via our secure online portal. Our system immediately performs automated geometry validation to check for file integrity, unit consistency, and manufacturability flags. Okuma-specific constraints—such as maximum envelope dimensions (e.g., 500mm x 400mm x 300mm for LB EX series lathes) or minimum feature sizes—are cross-referenced against the design. Any detected anomalies trigger an immediate notification to the client for resolution prior to quoting.
AI-Powered Quoting with Engineering Oversight
Proprietary AI algorithms analyze the validated CAD geometry, material selection, and surface finish requirements to generate a preliminary quote within 2 hours. The AI factors in Okuma machine-specific parameters:
Toolpath complexity adjusted for Okuma’s MAZATROL SmoothX controller efficiency
Material waste calculations using Okuma’s high-precision bar feeders
Setup time estimates based on Okuma’s twin-turret configurations
A Senior Manufacturing Engineer then validates the AI output, incorporating secondary operations (e.g., milling on turning centers) and applying industry-standard allowances for titanium or Inconel alloys. Clients receive a formal quote with breakdowns for machine hours, material costs, and critical tolerances.
Engineering-Driven DFM Analysis
Upon quote acceptance, our DFM team conducts a rigorous review focused on Okuma machine optimization:
Converting undercuts or complex contours into viable Okuma multitasking sequences (e.g., simultaneous turning/milling on LB3000 EX-II)
Recommending feature modifications to leverage Okuma’s sub-spindle capabilities for complete machining in one setup
Adjusting tolerances to match achievable Okuma performance (e.g., ±0.005mm positional accuracy on GENOS series mills)
Flagging thin-wall sections requiring Okuma’s adaptive control to prevent chatter
A detailed DFM report with annotated CAD markups is shared within 24 hours, including specific Okuma machine assignments and process validation evidence.
Okuma-Centric Production Execution
Approved designs move to our climate-controlled Okuma production cell. Key practices include:
Pre-production validation using Okuma’s Virtual Machine simulation to eliminate collisions
In-process gaging via Okuma’s touch-probe systems for first-article inspection
Real-time thermal drift correction via Thermo-Friendly Concept technology
Material-specific parameter optimization (e.g., high-feed milling strategies for aluminum on VMCs)
All operations adhere to ISO 9001 protocols, with full traceability of tooling (Okuma-standard BT40/CAT40), coolant conditions, and machine health data from the OSP-P300M controller.
Quality-Controlled Delivery
Final inspection employs CMM and optical comparators calibrated to NIST standards, with reports mapping actual measurements against CAD nominal values. For critical aerospace or medical parts, we provide Okuma machine log data (spindle load, vibration analysis) as supplementary evidence. Parts ship with:
Material certification (e.g., AMS 4928 for Ti-6Al-4V)
Dimensional report showing conformance to specified tolerances
Lot traceability documentation
Standard lead time is 72 hours for prototypes; express options leverage Okuma’s quick-change pallet systems for 24-hour turnaround.
