Steel (e.g., 17-4 PH, 316L): DMLS-processed stainless steels offering high strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for medical and industrial applications.
ABS-like Resins (SLA): Simulate thermoplastic ABS in appearance and mechanical behavior; ideal for visual prototypes and fit testing.
Nylon (PA11, PA12): Available via SLS and MJF; offers excellent durability, chemical resistance, and flexibility. Widely used for functional parts such as enclosures, ducts, and mechanical assemblies.
The Fusion Edge platform integrates advanced motion control, inert gas environments (for metal processes), and real-time monitoring systems to ensure consistent part quality across all technologies. It is designed for seamless integration into industrial workflows, supporting automated data preparation, machine scheduling, and quality traceability.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype employs a rigorously structured workflow for our Fusion Edge metal additive manufacturing service, designed to maximize precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for industrial clients. The end-to-end process is engineered to minimize errors and accelerate time-to-part while maintaining aerospace-grade quality standards.
Upload CAD
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, or native CAD formats preferred) via our secure customer portal. Our system performs immediate automated validation checks for watertight geometry, minimum feature size compliance (≥0.4mm for standard builds), and orientation suitability. Unsupported formats undergo conversion with full topology verification before proceeding. File encryption and audit trails ensure IP protection per ISO 27001 protocols.
AI Quote Generation
Within 15 minutes, our proprietary AI quoting engine analyzes the validated geometry against real-time parameters including machine availability, material stock levels, and geometric complexity metrics. The system cross-references historical build data from 50,000+ production runs to predict support structure requirements, build time, and material consumption. Clients receive a dynamic quote showing cost breakdown by material, machine time, and post-processing, with options to adjust parameters like surface finish grade or heat treatment.
DFM Analysis
All projects undergo mandatory Design for Metal Additive Manufacturing review by our engineering team. This phase identifies critical manufacturability risks and optimization opportunities through dual-layer analysis:
| DFM Focus Area | Key Checks | Typical Resolution Time |
|---|---|---|
| Geometric Feasibility | Overhang angles (>45°), thin wall stability (<0.5mm), trapped powder zones | 4-8 hours |
| Thermal Stress Mitigation | Hotspot prediction, distortion risk zones, support density optimization | 8-12 hours |
| Cost Drivers | Support structure minimization, build orientation impact, nesting efficiency | 4-6 hours |
Engineers provide actionable recommendations via annotated 3D markups, with clients approving revisions within the portal. 92% of first-pass builds achieve zero critical DFM flags due to this proactive phase.
Production Execution
Approved designs move to our dedicated Fusion Edge production floor featuring EOS M400-4 quad-laser systems operating under argon atmosphere (O₂ < 25 ppm). Key production parameters include:
Layer thickness: 30μm (standard) or 20μm (high-resolution)
Build temperature: 150°C (Ti6Al4V) to 850°C (Inconel 718)
Laser power: 700W per emitter with real-time melt pool monitoring
All builds incorporate in-situ layer imaging and thermal camera tracking, with full traceability from powder lot to final part certification. Optional NDT (CT scanning, XRF) is available per AMS 4999.
Delivery and Certification
Post-processing occurs in our certified cleanroom (ISO Class 7) with options including:
HIP (1150°C/100MPa for critical aerospace parts)
Precision machining of critical interfaces
Shot peening for fatigue resistance improvement
Every shipment includes full material test reports (ASTM E8/E23), dimensional inspection data (per AS9102), and build parameter logs. Standard lead time is 7-10 business days from CAD approval, with expedited 72-hour options for urgent prototypes. Parts ship with serialized tracking and environmental control documentation meeting ITAR and REACH requirements.
