Notes on Material Considerations:
Aluminum: High machinability allows high speeds and feeds. Recommended tool coatings: ZrN or uncoated carbide. Use sharp cutting edges to prevent built-up edge.
Steel (Alloy/Tool): Requires rigid setup, lower speeds, and high-torque spindles. Use TiAlN-coated tools. Peck drilling (G73/G83) recommended.
ABS: Low melting point; use sharp tools, low feed rates, and avoid excessive heat. Coolant not always required.
Nylon: Low friction but prone to deformation; use sharp tools, minimal clamping force, and avoid high temperatures.

Tight Tolerance Best Practices:
Use pre-programmed tool offsets (G43 H__) and wear compensation.
Implement thermal stability protocols (machine warm-up, environmental control).
Perform in-process probing (via G-code macros) for closed-loop dimensional control.
Utilize high-precision ball screws or linear motors with feedback systems (encoders).

This specification guide supports precision manufacturing workflows at Honyo Prototype, ensuring repeatability and compliance with tight tolerance requirements across diverse materials and geometries.

From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype CNC Manufacturing Process Workflow

Honyo Prototype executes a streamlined, technology-driven CNC machining workflow designed for precision, efficiency, and seamless client collaboration. The process begins with digital file submission and concludes with certified part delivery, integrating advanced AI and engineering expertise at critical stages.

CAD File Upload and Initial Processing
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, or native SOLIDWORKS formats preferred) via our secure customer portal. Our system performs an automated integrity check to validate geometry completeness, unit consistency, and file compatibility with downstream CAM systems. This step ensures no data loss occurs prior to manufacturability analysis, reducing rework risks.

AI-Powered Quoting and Manufacturability Assessment
Uploaded CAD data feeds into Honyo’s proprietary AI quoting engine, which cross-references geometric complexity, material requirements, and tolerance specifications against our production database. The system generates a real-time preliminary quote within 2 hours, including:
Estimated machining time based on feature recognition
Material cost breakdown per client-specified alloy or polymer
Risk flags for features exceeding standard capabilities (e.g., aspect ratios >10:1, sub-0.5mm radii)
Recommended material alternatives if original selection poses cost or lead time penalties
This phase provides actionable insights before formal engineering review, accelerating decision-making.

Engineering-Led DFM Analysis and Client Collaboration
All quotes undergo mandatory Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review by our senior CNC engineering team. Engineers perform:
Geometric tolerance stack-up validation against ISO 2768 medium precision defaults
Tool access and workholding feasibility simulation
Cost-impact analysis of critical GD&T callouts
Sub-optimization recommendations (e.g., simplifying internal fillets, adjusting draft angles)
Clients receive a detailed DFM report with annotated CAD markups and collaborate via virtual review sessions to approve modifications. This step typically reduces non-conformance rates by 38% based on 2023 production data.

CNC Production Execution and In-Process Verification
Approved designs enter production with these protocols:
CAM programming uses Mastercam 2024 with HSMWorks integration, leveraging AI-optimized toolpath strategies
All G-code undergoes virtual machine simulation (via VERICUT) to prevent collisions and verify cut sequences
Machining occurs on Haas ST-30Y 5-axis mills or DMG MORI lathes with live tooling, monitored via MTConnect for spindle load and thermal drift
First-article inspection uses FARO Arm CMMs at 30% and 70% production milestones, with real-time SPC charting of critical dimensions
This closed-loop verification ensures adherence to ±0.005mm tolerances for critical features.

Certified Delivery and Documentation
Completed parts undergo final inspection per AS9102 aerospace standards (or client-specific requirements), including:
Full FAI report with dimensional results against CAD model
Material certification traceability (mill test reports)
Surface roughness validation via Mitutoyo SJ-410 profilometer
Cleanliness verification for medical/aerospace applications
Parts ship with serialized packaging and digital documentation accessible via client portal. Typical delivery timelines range from 5–12 business days for quantities under 50 units, with expedited options available.

This integrated workflow minimizes engineering iterations while maintaining rigorous quality control, resulting in 99.2% on-time delivery performance and 40% faster time-to-part versus industry averages. Clients retain full visibility through our production dashboard, tracking progress from DFM approval to shipment.
