Custom Aluminium Parts Manufacturing Service

Manufacturing Insight: Custom Aluminium Parts

Precision Aluminum Components Engineered for Your Application

Honyo Prototype delivers mission-critical custom aluminum parts through advanced CNC machining processes tailored to demanding industrial specifications. Our expertise spans aerospace-grade alloys including 6061-T6, 7075-T6, and custom composites, achieving tolerances to ±0.005mm with surface finishes down to Ra 0.8μm. We integrate 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling capabilities with rigorous in-process metrology to ensure dimensional integrity across complex geometries—from thin-walled enclosures to hydraulic manifolds requiring stringent pressure certification.

Material optimization is central to our methodology. Our engineering team collaborates with clients during DFM analysis to mitigate aluminum-specific challenges like thermal deformation during high-speed cutting or burr formation in intricate cavities, directly reducing scrap rates and accelerating time-to-assembly. All components undergo non-destructive testing per ASTM E505 Level 2 standards, with traceable material certifications and first-article inspection reports.

Technical Capabilities

Custom aluminium parts produced via 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC milling and turning are engineered for high precision, complex geometry, and tight tolerance requirements across aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial applications. These processes enable multi-directional machining with minimal setup, ensuring superior accuracy and surface finish. While aluminum is the primary material used, Honyo Prototype also supports steel, ABS, and nylon for multi-material design needs.

Key Technical Capabilities:

Parameter	Specification
Machining Processes	3-Axis, 4-Axis, and 5-Axis CNC Milling; CNC Turning (including multi-axis turn-mill)
Primary Materials	Aluminum (6061-T6, 7075-T6, 2024-T3, 5052), Steel (1018, 4140, Stainless 303/304/17-4PH), ABS (Engineering-Grade), Nylon (PA6, PA66)
Tolerance Capability	±0.005 mm (±0.0002″) typical; down to ±0.002 mm (±0.0001″) for critical features
Surface Finish (Milling)	As-machined: 3.2 μm (125 μin); Optional: 1.6 μm (63 μin), 0.8 μm (32 μin) with polishing
Surface Finish (Turning)	1.6–3.2 μm (63–125 μin); fine finishing available per requirement
Maximum Work Envelope	Milling: 1000 x 600 x 500 mm (39.4 x 23.6 x 19.7 in); Turning: Ø500 mm x 600 mm length
Feature Complexity	High – capable of deep pockets, undercuts, helical interpolation, freeform contours
Secondary Operations	Deburring, anodizing (Type II & III), passivation, bead blasting, precision tapping, thread forming
Quality Assurance	CMM inspection, first-article reporting, GD&T compliance, full traceability
Lead Time (Prototype)	5–12 days depending on complexity and finishing requirements

Honyo Prototype maintains strict process control throughout machining, ensuring repeatability and conformance to ISO 2768-mK or customer-specific inspection standards. Material selection is optimized based on mechanical, thermal, and environmental performance needs—aluminum for lightweight strength, steel for wear resistance, ABS for functional prototyping, and nylon for low-friction components.

From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Custom Aluminum Parts Manufacturing Process

Honyo Prototype executes a streamlined, technology-driven workflow for custom aluminum parts, ensuring precision, efficiency, and compliance with stringent engineering standards. The end-to-end process is structured as follows:

CAD File Submission
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or native formats like SolidWorks) via our secure online portal. Our system validates file integrity, geometry completeness, and unit consistency, providing immediate feedback for corrections. This step eliminates manual data entry errors and establishes a digital thread for traceability.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Uploaded designs are processed through our proprietary AI quoting system, which analyzes geometric complexity, material utilization, and feature density against real-time shop floor data. The AI generates a preliminary quote within 2 hours, including cost breakdowns for machining, secondary operations (e.g., anodizing, tapping), and logistics. Critical parameters such as tolerances (±0.05mm standard), surface finishes (Ra 1.6µm default), and material grades (6061-T6, 7075-T6, etc.) are auto-evaluated. Human engineers review AI outputs for high-complexity projects to ensure accuracy.

Engineering DFM Analysis
All quotes trigger an automated Design for Manufacturability (DFM) assessment. Our system checks for manufacturability risks including thin walls (<0.8mm), deep cavities (>3x diameter), and non-optimal tool access. Concurrently, Honyo’s senior manufacturing engineers conduct a secondary review, providing actionable feedback within 24 hours. Typical recommendations include adjusting fillet radii, modifying hole depths, or suggesting alternative alloys to reduce costs without compromising function. Clients receive a formal DFM report with annotated suggestions and revised lead time/cost implications.

Production Execution
Upon client approval, parts enter production in our ISO 9001:2015-certified facility. Aluminum components are manufactured using CNC milling (3-axis to 5-axis), CNC turning, or hybrid processes on Haas and DMG MORI equipment. Key controls include:
In-process CMM validation at critical stages
Real-time tool wear monitoring via IoT sensors
Material certification traceability (mill test reports)
Secondary operations like deburring, anodizing (Type II/III), or precision tapping are managed in-house to avoid supply chain delays. All parts undergo final first-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102 standards.

Quality-Controlled Delivery
Completed orders undergo dimensional validation against the original CAD model using Zeiss CMMs, with full inspection reports provided. Parts are packaged in anti-corrosive materials with serialized labels for traceability. Standard lead times vary by complexity:

Complexity Tier	Avg. Lead Time	Max Part Size (mm)	Tolerance Capability
Low (2.5-axis)	5-7 business days	500 x 300 x 200	±0.05 mm
Medium (3-axis)	8-10 business days	800 x 500 x 300	±0.03 mm
High (5-axis)	12-15 business days	1200 x 800 x 600	±0.01 mm

Shipments include digital quality documentation via client portal access and physical tracking. Expedited options (72-hour turnaround for simple geometries) are available for urgent requirements. This integrated process ensures 99.2% on-time delivery and <0.5% defect rates for aluminum components.
