Our San Diego facility maintains strict quality control protocols (ISO 9001-compliant processes) to ensure dimensional accuracy and material integrity. Multi-axis capabilities allow for complex part geometries with minimal setup, reducing lead times and enhancing part consistency. Whether producing low-volume prototypes or high-mix production runs, Honyo Prototype delivers precision-machined components with rapid turnaround.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype San Diego CNC Machining Workflow
Our San Diego facility executes a streamlined, technology-driven CNC machining process designed for precision, speed, and cost transparency. The workflow begins when a client uploads a CAD file to our secure portal. We accept industry-standard formats including STEP, IGES, Parasolid, and native CAD files from SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Creo. All submissions undergo immediate validation for geometric integrity, unit consistency, and manufacturability flags.
Following CAD upload, our proprietary AI quoting engine generates a detailed cost estimate within 2 hours. This system analyzes 50+ parameters including material utilization, machine time, tooling requirements, secondary operations, and real-time material pricing from our San Diego inventory. Unlike generic quoting tools, our AI integrates historical production data from 50,000+ parts to predict true production variables, providing clients with granular cost breakdowns and lead time projections.
The Design for Manufacturability (DFM) phase is where Honyo delivers critical engineering value. Our AS9100-certified manufacturing engineers conduct a thorough review, identifying potential issues such as non-optimal wall thicknesses, inefficient tool access, or tolerance conflicts. We provide actionable recommendations—like modifying fillet radii to reduce cycle time or suggesting alternative materials for better machinability—typically resolving 85% of manufacturability concerns before production. Clients receive a formal DFM report with annotated CAD markups and cost-impact analysis within 24 hours of quote acceptance.
Production occurs at our ISO 9001:2015-certified San Diego facility using Haas, DMG MORI, and Makino CNC centers. We maintain strict process controls:
Material Verification: All stock undergoes PMI (Positive Material Identification) per ASTM E1086
In-Process Inspection: Critical features checked via Renishaw probes at defined production intervals
Final QA: Full CMM reporting against ASME Y14.5-2018 standards with surface roughness validation
Typical Lead Time Variables
| Factor | Standard Lead Time | Expedited Option |
|---|---|---|
| Simple Geometry (Aluminum) | 5-7 business days | 72 hours |
| Complex Multi-Axis (Stainless) | 10-12 business days | 5 business days |
| Tight Tolerances (±0.0005″) | +3 days | +24 hours |
Delivery leverages our integrated logistics platform. All parts ship with serialized traceability documentation, including material certs, inspection reports, and first-article testing data where required. We coordinate direct shipping via DHL, FedEx, or client-designated carriers with real-time tracking. For urgent San Diego metro area deliveries, same-day handoff is available through our Kearny Mesa facility.
This closed-loop process ensures clients receive production-ready parts with minimized risk and predictable timelines. For time-sensitive projects, our engineering team initiates concurrent DFM analysis during the AI quoting phase, reducing total turnaround by up to 40%.
