Positioning Accuracy ±0.005 mm (±0.0002″)
Repeatability ±0.002 mm (±0.0001″)
Tight Tolerance Capability ±0.0125 mm (±0.0005″) for critical features; up to ±0.005 mm with special process control
Surface Finish (Typical) Ra 0.8 µm (32 µin) standard; down to Ra 0.4 µm (16 µin) with polishing or grinding options
Maximum Work Envelope (Milling) 1000 mm × 600 mm × 500 mm (39″ × 23.6″ × 19.7″) for 3/4/5-axis platforms
Maximum Turning Diameter Ø300 mm (11.8″) with bar feed capability up to Ø52 mm (2″)

Materials Supported Aluminum (6061, 7075, 2024), Steel (1018, 4140, Stainless 303, 316), ABS, Nylon (6 & 66), Delrin, PEEK, and other engineering plastics
Coolant & Machining Modes Flood coolant, mist coolant, and dry/high-pressure air for sensitive plastics
Inspection & QA In-house CMM, optical comparators, micrometers, and gauge blocks; full first-article inspection reports (FAIR) available

Our 5-axis simultaneous machining capability allows for complex organic shapes and deep cavity milling with minimal setup, improving geometric accuracy and reducing lead time. For tight tolerance applications, we implement thermal compensation, tool wear monitoring, and post-process metrology to ensure compliance with ISO 2768-mK or custom GD&T specifications.

Materials such as Aluminum and Steel are machined with carbide end mills and optimized feeds/speeds for burr-free finishes. Engineering plastics like ABS and Nylon are processed with sharp tooling and controlled parameters to prevent melting or deformation, ensuring dimensional stability.


From CAD to Part: The Process

cnc machine works

Honyo Prototype executes CNC machining projects through a rigorously defined workflow designed for precision engineering and seamless client collaboration. This process ensures manufacturability, cost efficiency, and on-time delivery for prototype and low-volume production components.

CAD File Upload and Initial Processing
Clients initiate projects by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or native formats like SOLIDWORKS) via our secure web portal or integrated API. Our system performs automated validation checks for geometry integrity, unit consistency, and file completeness. This initial scan identifies fundamental issues such as missing datums or unsupported file types before proceeding to quoting, reducing downstream delays.

AI-Powered Quoting with Engineering Oversight
Uploaded designs enter our proprietary AI quoting engine, which analyzes geometric complexity, material requirements, tolerance specifications, and feature density. The system cross-references real-time data on machine availability, material costs, and labor rates to generate a preliminary quote within 2 hours. Crucially, this AI output undergoes mandatory review by our senior manufacturing engineers who validate feasibility, suggest optimal material grades, and identify potential cost-saving opportunities through process refinement. Clients receive a detailed quote including DFM recommendations and lead time estimates.

Collaborative DFM Analysis and Approval
Upon quote acceptance, our engineering team conducts a formal Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review. This phase involves:
Evaluating wall thicknesses, internal radii, and feature accessibility relative to standard tooling;
Assessing tolerance callouts against achievable machining capabilities per ISO 2768-mK;
Proposing modifications to reduce secondary operations or fixture requirements;
Confirming material suitability for the application and process.
We provide a comprehensive DFM report with annotated visuals and actionable suggestions. Client sign-off on the final manufacturing-ready design is required before production commencement.

Precision CNC Production and Quality Control
Approved designs move to our certified production floor housing 50+ CNC machines (3-axis vertical mills, 5-axis mills, and precision lathes). Each job follows a documented process plan specifying:
Exact toolpaths generated via Mastercam with collision avoidance verification;
Material verification through certified mill test reports;
In-process inspections at critical stages using calibrated CMMs and optical comparators;
Final first-article inspection per AS9102 standards with full dimensional reporting.
All metal components undergo post-machining deburring, cleaning, and optional surface treatments (anodizing, plating, passivation) as specified.

Delivery and Traceability
Completed parts undergo final packaging in ESD-safe or custom protective materials based on client requirements. Every shipment includes:
A traceability label with unique job ID, material lot number, and heat treatment certification;
Comprehensive inspection documentation (FAIR, CMM reports);
Shipping confirmation with real-time logistics tracking.
Typical lead times range from 5–15 business days for standard prototypes, with expedited options available. Critical deliveries include pre-shipment client inspection opportunities via our remote video verification system.

Material options span aerospace alloys, engineering plastics, and specialty composites as shown below:

Material Category Common Grades Key Applications
Aluminum Alloys 6061-T6, 7075-T6, 2024-T3 Structural components, enclosures, brackets
Stainless Steel 303, 304/L, 17-4PH, 416 Medical devices, fluid systems, marine hardware
Engineering Plastics POM (Delrin), PEEK, Nylon 12 Insulators, wear parts, low-friction components
Titanium Alloys Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) Aerospace fittings, medical implants

This integrated workflow eliminates traditional handoffs between quoting and production teams, ensuring technical continuity from design validation to certified delivery. All processes adhere to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D quality management systems, with full documentation retention for 10 years post-delivery.
