From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype delivers precision CNC machining services from our dedicated Houston facility using a streamlined, technology-driven workflow designed for speed and reliability in industrial manufacturing. Our process begins when customers upload native CAD files or standard formats like STEP, IGES, or Parasolid directly to our secure customer portal. This triggers immediate automated geometry analysis for manufacturability and material compatibility with our Houston-based equipment inventory including 3-axis vertical mills, 5-axis machining centers, and precision lathes capable of handling aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and engineering plastics.
The AI-powered quoting system then generates a detailed cost and timeline estimate within 2 business hours, leveraging historical production data from our Houston operations to ensure accuracy. Unlike generic quoting tools, our AI cross-references real-time machine availability at our Houston plant, local material sourcing costs, and geometric complexity factors such as internal radii below 0.5mm or deep cavity milling requirements. Customers receive a transparent breakdown covering setup, run time, material waste factors, and secondary operations.
All projects undergo mandatory Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review by our Houston-based engineering team before production. This critical phase identifies potential issues like non-standard tooling requirements, excessive fixturing needs, or tolerance conflicts that could cause delays. Key DFM considerations include:
| DFM Check Category | Common Findings | Honyo Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Geometric Feasibility | Undercuts requiring 4th/5th axis | Propose design modification or confirm 5-axis capability |
| Tolerance Stack-up | ±0.001″ specs on non-critical features | Suggest GD&T optimization to reduce cost |
| Material Utilization | Poor nesting efficiency | Recommend stock size adjustment or alternative material grade |
| Secondary Operations | Unspecified deburring or finishing | Clarify requirements per ISO 1302 surface texture standards |
Following DFM approval, production commences at our Houston facility with rigorous in-process inspection. Every critical dimension is verified using calibrated CMMs and optical comparators at 30%, 70%, and 100% production milestones per AS9102 First Article Inspection protocols. For high-mix production runs, we implement SPC charting on key characteristics. Final inspection generates a comprehensive quality report including dimensional results, material certs, and surface roughness measurements traceable to NIST standards.
Completed parts undergo protective packaging appropriate for the material (e.g., vapor-corrosion inhibitors for aluminum) and ship via our Houston logistics partners with real-time tracking. Standard delivery is 7-10 business days for prototypes and 12-15 days for production batches, with expedited options available through our local courier network covering the Greater Houston industrial corridor. Customers receive automated shipment notifications with delivery confirmation and full documentation access through our client portal. This integrated approach ensures Houston-area manufacturers receive certified, on-specification components with minimized lead time and engineering risk.
