We routinely process aluminum and steel for structural and high-strength components, while ABS and nylon are used for functional prototypes and non-metallic wear parts. Our 5-axis simultaneous milling enables single-setup production of complex contours and organic shapes, reducing lead time and improving accuracy. All jobs are supported with full metrology reports and are produced under ISO 9001-compliant processes.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype operates a dedicated CNC machining facility in Houston, TX serving industrial clients across the Gulf Coast and nationwide. Our streamlined process ensures precision, speed, and engineering rigor from initial upload to final delivery. Below is a detailed technical overview of our workflow:
Upload CAD
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, native SOLIDWORKS) via our secure customer portal. The system validates file integrity and geometry completeness, rejecting submissions with corrupted data or unsupported formats. All uploads undergo automated metadata extraction including material specifications, critical tolerances (per ASME Y14.5), and surface finish requirements. Houston facility-specific capacity constraints are pre-validated during this phase to ensure realistic scheduling.
AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the CAD geometry using machine learning models trained on 15+ million historical machining operations. The system calculates:
Machine time estimates based on toolpath complexity and feature density
Material waste factors using nesting algorithms
Fixture requirements derived from undercuts and datums
Secondary operation needs (tapping, deburring, etc.)
Quotes include granular cost breakdowns and are generated within 2 hours. Crucially, this AI layer is supervised by senior manufacturing engineers who intervene for complex geometries or materials requiring specialized expertise. All quotes specify Houston shop availability with current lead time benchmarks.
Engineering-Driven DFM Analysis
Every design undergoes mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by Houston-based engineers before production. This phase identifies:
Geometries requiring specialized tooling (e.g., deep cavities needing long-reach end mills)
Tolerance stack-up risks exceeding ±0.0005″ capabilities
Material suitability for specified processes (e.g., 6061-T6 vs. 7075 for thin walls)
Cost-optimization opportunities (consolidating features, standardizing hole sizes)
Clients receive a formal DFM report with actionable recommendations. Revisions are implemented at no cost through our collaborative portal, with engineering support available via scheduled technical calls. This phase typically reduces production costs by 18-32% while maintaining functional requirements.
Precision Production Execution
Approved designs move to our Houston facility equipped with:
| Machine Type | Key Capabilities | Max Work Envelope | Tolerance Capability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Axis Milling | DMG MORI CTX beta 1250 | 2000 x 1000 x 800mm | ±0.0002″ |
| 3-Axis Milling | Haas VF-4SS | 1000 x 500 x 500mm | ±0.0005″ |
| Turning Centers | Mazak QTU 200MSY | Ø350mm x 750mm | ±0.0003″ |
| Wire EDM | Makino U3 | 400 x 300 x 250mm | ±0.0001″ |
All production follows AS9100-certified procedures with in-process CMM verification at critical milestones. Material certifications (mill test reports) and first-article inspection reports (FAIR) are generated per ASME Y14.34. Complex assemblies undergo fixture validation using Renishaw probing systems prior to full production runs.
Logistics and Delivery
Finished parts undergo final dimensional validation against original CAD models using Zeiss CONTURA CMMs. Houston metro area deliveries utilize our climate-controlled fleet with same-day or next-business-day dispatch options. Nationally, we partner with certified logistics providers offering real-time GPS tracking and temperature/humidity monitoring for sensitive components. All shipments include:
Comprehensive traceability documentation (material lot, machine ID, operator)
Dimensional inspection reports (PDF and XML formats)
Compliance certificates (RoHS, REACH, PPAP Level 3 as required)
Standard lead times range from 3-15 business days depending on complexity, with expedited options available for urgent Houston-area requirements.
This integrated process ensures Honyo Houston delivers machined components meeting aerospace, medical, and industrial OEM specifications with 99.8% on-time delivery performance. Every stage maintains full digital traceability accessible through our client portal for audit compliance.
