From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype CNC Precision Machine Shop Process Overview
Honyo Prototype executes CNC machining projects through a rigorously defined workflow designed to maximize precision, efficiency, and client transparency. This integrated process spans from initial design submission to final delivery, leveraging both advanced technology and engineering expertise. Below is a detailed explanation of each phase.
CAD File Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD formats (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SolidWorks, Fusion 360) via Honyo’s secure customer portal. Our system performs immediate automated validation checks for geometry integrity, unit consistency, and manufacturability flags. Files failing validation trigger real-time notifications specifying required corrections, preventing downstream delays. All uploads are encrypted and stored in isolated project environments compliant with ISO 27001 standards to ensure intellectual property protection.
AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Upon CAD validation, Honyo’s proprietary AI quoting system analyzes the model against live databases of material costs, machine availability, and historical production data. The engine deconstructs the part into geometric features (pockets, holes, contours), calculates machine time using kinematic simulations, and applies dynamic cost factors for secondary operations like tapping or surface finishing. Quotes include granular breakdowns of material, machining, inspection, and logistics costs, typically delivered within 2 business hours. Crucially, the AI flags high-risk geometries (e.g., deep cavities with aspect ratios >10:1) requiring engineering review before final pricing.
Engineering-Led DFM Analysis
All quotes undergo mandatory Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review by Honyo’s senior manufacturing engineers. This phase transcends automated suggestions to address precision-critical factors:
| DFM Analysis Parameter | Precision-Specific Focus |
|---|---|
| Geometric Complexity | Tool access evaluation for 5-axis milling; avoidance of undercuts requiring EDM |
| Tolerance Stack-Up | Statistical analysis of GD&T callouts to prevent over-constraining |
| Material Selection | Verification of thermal stability for tight-tolerance features (e.g., aluminum 7075 vs. 6061) |
| Fixture Strategy | Custom workholding design to minimize deflection during high-precision milling |
Engineers collaborate with clients via secure video review to resolve conflicts, suggesting optimizations like tolerance relaxation on non-functional surfaces or feature consolidation. Approved DFM reports include annotated CAD markups and a formal manufacturing plan.
Precision Production Execution
Production occurs in Honyo’s climate-controlled facility (±0.5°C stability) using calibrated CNC equipment:
Milling: DMG MORI 5-axis machines (positioning accuracy ±2µm) with in-process probing
Turning: Nakamura-Tome multi-tasking lathes with sub-spindle synchronization
Inspection: Zeiss CONTURA CMMs, optical comparators, and surface roughness testers
Each job follows a documented sequence: raw material certification review, first-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102, and in-process checks at critical stages using statistical process control (SPC) charts. All toolpaths undergo virtual simulation in NCSIMUL to prevent collisions, and cutting parameters are optimized for surface finish consistency (Ra < 0.8µm achievable). Material traceability is maintained via barcode tracking from stock to shipment.
Quality-Controlled Delivery
Prior to shipment, every component undergoes final validation against the original drawing:
Dimensional verification using calibrated CMMs with NIST-traceable reports
Material certification and heat treatment documentation (where applicable)
Surface finish and deburring inspection per client-specified standards
Parts are packaged in anti-corrosive VCI bags with custom foam cradling to prevent transit damage. Delivery includes a complete quality dossier: FAI report, CMM results, process logs, and shipping documentation. Honyo coordinates logistics via DHL Precision or client-designated carriers, providing real-time shipment tracking. Lead times are contractually guaranteed with penalties for delays attributable to Honyo’s process.
This end-to-end methodology reduces prototyping lead times by 35% compared to industry averages while maintaining sub-10µm tolerances across complex geometries. The integration of AI acceleration with human engineering oversight ensures both speed and uncompromised precision for mission-critical components.
