From CAD to Part: The Process

cnc san antonio

Honyo Prototype executes all CNC machining operations through a centralized digital workflow regardless of geographic location including projects originating from San Antonio. Our process is standardized globally to ensure consistent quality and efficiency. Below is the technical sequence:

CAD File Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD formats (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SolidWorks) via our secure customer portal. The system performs automated validation checks for file integrity, unit consistency, and geometric completeness. Invalid submissions trigger immediate notifications with specific error diagnostics to prevent downstream delays. All data transmission uses AES-256 encryption meeting ITAR compliance standards for defense-related projects common in the San Antonio industrial corridor.

AI-Powered Quotation with Engineering Oversight
Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the validated CAD model to generate preliminary cost and lead time estimates within 2 hours. The algorithm factors in material utilization rates, machine time calculations based on feature complexity, and real-time shop floor capacity. Crucially, this AI output undergoes mandatory review by a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who validates:
Material grade suitability against specified tolerances
Fixture strategy feasibility
Secondary operation requirements
Regional logistics considerations for San Antonio deliveries
This hybrid approach maintains 92% quote accuracy while reducing manual estimation time by 70% compared to industry benchmarks.

Engineering-Driven DFM Analysis
Every project enters a formal Design for Manufacturability phase staffed by ASME-certified engineers. For San Antonio clients, we specifically address regional factors like humidity-controlled storage requirements. Our DFM report details:
Critical tolerance verification against ASME Y14.5 standards
Optimal toolpath sequencing to minimize chatter in aluminum alloys (common in local aerospace components)
Material waste reduction opportunities through nest optimization
Substitution recommendations for locally unavailable stock materials
Typical DFM turnaround is 48 business hours with 73% of projects requiring zero design iterations due to our upfront analysis rigor.

Precision CNC Production Execution
Approved designs move to our climate-controlled machining facility where all equipment undergoes daily ISO 230-2 volumetric compensation. San Antonio-bound orders receive priority scheduling on:
5-axis DMG MORI machines (±0.0002″ tolerance capability)
High-speed milling centers for aluminum housings typical in medical devices
In-process probing systems for first-article inspection
Each operation follows documented work instructions with real-time SPC monitoring. Material certificates and process validation records are digitally attached to every work order.

Quality-Controlled Delivery Protocol
Final inspection includes CMM verification of critical features against original CAD with full FAIR documentation. Parts undergo ultrasonic cleaning and anti-corrosion treatment before vacuum-sealed packaging with humidity indicators. For San Antonio clients, we utilize bonded logistics partners offering:

Service Tier Lead Time Tracking Insurance Coverage
Standard 2-3 days GPS $10,000 default
Express 24 hours Real-time $50,000 default
Critical <12 hours Dedicated Customizable

All shipments include digital delivery certificates with as-built dimensional reports. Our San Antonio delivery performance maintains a 98.7% on-time rate with zero NDA breaches in the past 36 months. Clients receive automated shipment notifications with direct access to quality documentation via the customer portal.
