From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype High-Mix Machining Process Overview
Honyo Prototype specializes in high-mix, low-volume precision machining for complex hardware and metal components. Our streamlined workflow—from CAD upload to delivery—is engineered for speed, accuracy, and manufacturability. Below is a technical breakdown of each phase, reflecting our ISO 9001:2015-certified methodology.
CAD Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or native SOLIDWORKS/Creo formats) via our secure portal. Our system performs automated validation checks for geometry integrity, unit consistency, and file completeness. Invalid submissions trigger immediate error logs specifying required corrections (e.g., non-manifold edges, missing metadata). Validated files proceed directly to AI-driven quoting, eliminating manual intake delays.
AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Honyo’s proprietary AI engine analyzes the CAD geometry, material specifications, and tolerance requirements to generate a comprehensive quote within 2 business hours. The algorithm cross-references real-time data from 12+ material databases, machine capability matrices, and historical production logs. Key parameters evaluated include:
Feature complexity (e.g., thin walls, deep cavities)
Tight-tolerance zones (IT grades per ISO 2768)
Secondary operation requirements (deburring, anodizing)
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) compliance risk
Quotes include cost breakdowns, lead time estimates, and preliminary material utilization metrics. Clients may request adjustments via our collaborative portal before formal approval.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Analysis
Upon quote acceptance, Honyo’s engineering team conducts a rigorous DFM review within 72 hours. This phase is critical for high-mix production, where design inefficiencies directly impact scalability. Our engineers—averaging 15+ years in precision machining—evaluate:
| DFM Parameter | Analysis Focus | Common Resolution Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Geometric Feasibility | Tool access, undercuts, minimum feature sizes | Suggest chamfers/radii to replace sharp corners |
| Tolerance Stack-Ups | Cumulative variance in multi-feature assemblies | Recommend statistical tolerance allocation |
| Material Utilization | Raw stock waste, nesting efficiency | Propose alternative billet dimensions |
| Process Sequencing | Optimal operation order to minimize setups | Redesign for single-setup machining |
Clients receive a formal DFM report with actionable recommendations. Iterations occur via version-controlled CAD markups until design stability is achieved. This phase reduces production rework by 40% on average.
Precision Production Execution
Approved designs move to our CNC production floor, equipped with 5-axis milling centers (DMG MORI, Haas), Swiss-type lathes, and wire EDM systems. All runs adhere to:
First-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102 standards
In-process CMM checks at critical stages (e.g., pre-finishing)
Real-time machine telemetry monitoring for thermal drift compensation
Material traceability via serialized barcoding from raw stock to shipment
High-mix complexity is managed through dynamic scheduling software that prioritizes changeover efficiency and balances machine load across 3 shifts.
Quality-Controlled Delivery
Final inspection includes full FAI documentation, surface roughness validation (per ISO 4287), and GD&T verification using Zeiss CMMs. Parts ship with:
Certificate of Conformance (CoC) detailing material certs and process parameters
Dimensional inspection reports (digital and hardcopy)
Packaging engineered for component fragility (e.g., VCI paper for corrosion-prone alloys)
Standard lead time is 10–15 business days from DFM sign-off, with expedited options available. All shipments include tracking with milestone notifications (e.g., “CMM complete,” “shipped via DHL Express”).
This integrated workflow ensures Honyo delivers complex metal components with 99.2% on-time delivery and <0.5% defect rates—critical for B2B clients in aerospace, medical, and robotics sectors where prototyping speed and precision directly impact time-to-market.
