At Honyo Prototype, these systems are operated under strict environmental and process controls to maintain micron-level tolerances across all qualified materials.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype executes precision CNC machining through a rigorously defined workflow optimized for speed, accuracy, and manufacturability. The process for handling CNC projects—commonly referenced internally as DMG CNC work (denoting high-precision machining on DMG MORI equipment)—follows five sequential phases with integrated quality gates. Below is the technical workflow:
CAD File Upload and Initial Processing
Customers initiate the process via our secure client portal, uploading native CAD formats (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) or industry-standard 2D/3D drawings. The system performs automated validation for file integrity, unit consistency, and geometric completeness. Invalid submissions trigger immediate client notification with specific error diagnostics. Validated files enter the quoting pipeline within 15 minutes of upload.
AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Our proprietary AI quotation system analyzes the CAD geometry, material specifications, tolerances, and surface finish requirements. Machine learning algorithms cross-reference historical production data, real-time machine availability, and material costs to generate a technically viable quote within two hours. The output includes cost breakdowns by machining operation, estimated cycle time, and critical process limitations. Clients receive a secure link to review, adjust priorities (e.g., cost vs. lead time), and formally approve.
Engineering-Driven DFM Analysis
Upon quote acceptance, Honyo’s manufacturing engineers conduct a formal Design for Manufacturability review. This phase identifies geometric features that increase cost or risk—such as thin walls, deep cavities, or non-standard tolerances—and proposes actionable optimizations. Key DFM parameters evaluated include:
| Parameter Category | Critical Checks | Honyo Standard Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Geometric Complexity | Undercuts, internal radii, aspect ratios | Minimum radius = 0.5x feature depth |
| Tolerance Stack-Up | Interdependent GD&T callouts | ±0.025mm typical; tighter requires secondary operations |
| Material Utilization | Stock size vs. part volume | >35% material savings triggers redesign suggestion |
| Fixturing Feasibility | Datum accessibility, clamping surfaces | 3+ unobstructed fixture points required |
Engineers collaborate with clients via digital markup tools to resolve conflicts before programming begins. Unresolved issues escalate to senior engineering within 4 business hours.
CNC Production Execution
Approved designs move to production on DMG MORI 5-axis milling centers or precision lathes with integrated probing. Each job follows:
CAM programming using hyperMILL with collision avoidance simulation
First-article inspection via CMM against original CAD (AS9102 format)
In-process checks at critical operation intervals
Real-time machine data logging (spindle load, vibration, thermal drift)
All parts receive unique serialized barcoding for full traceability from raw material to shipment. High-mix/low-volume batches leverage our flexible manufacturing cells with <30-minute changeover times.
Quality-Controlled Delivery
Final inspection verifies dimensional compliance, surface roughness (Ra values), and material certifications per ASME Y14.5. Shipping documentation includes:
FAI report with deviation analysis
Material test certificates (MTRs)
Process capability data (Cp/Cpk where applicable)
Parts are packaged in anti-static, humidity-controlled containers with shock indicators. Standard lead time is 5–7 business days post-DFM approval; expedited options (72-hour) available for qualified geometries. Global delivery uses tracked logistics with real-time shipment visibility via client portal.
