From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype executes Houston-based CNC machining through a rigorously defined digital workflow designed for precision, speed, and risk mitigation in industrial prototyping and low-volume production. This integrated process leverages AI and engineering expertise to eliminate traditional quoting bottlenecks while ensuring manufacturability.
Upload CAD
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or native SOLIDWORKS formats) via our secure customer portal. We enforce strict geometry validation protocols at upload to detect invalid surfaces, gaps, or non-manifold edges that could disrupt downstream operations. File size limits (up to 2GB) and mandatory inclusion of critical tolerances or surface finish callouts per ISO 2768 or ASME Y14.5 standards are enforced to ensure data integrity.
AI Quote Generation
Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the validated CAD geometry against real-time parameters including machine availability at our Houston facility, material costs (tracked to the pound for domestic alloys like 6061-T6 or 7075), tooling requirements, and historical cycle time databases. The system cross-references over 500,000 past machining projects to generate a preliminary quote with cost breakdowns for material, machine hours, and secondary operations within 90 minutes. Crucially, this AI output is not a final quote but a data-rich engineering assessment flagged for DFM review.
DFM Engineering Review
All AI-generated quotes undergo mandatory DFM validation by Houston-based manufacturing engineers with minimum 10 years’ aerospace/medical device experience. This phase identifies geometric complexities requiring specialized tooling (e.g., deep cavities needing custom carbide endmills), evaluates stock size optimization to reduce material waste, and verifies GD&T feasibility against our 5-axis Haas and DMG MORI tolerances (±0.0002″ typical). Clients receive a formal DFM report within 24 hours highlighting critical manufacturability issues, cost-saving redesign suggestions, and confirmation of AS9100-compliant process documentation. No order proceeds to production without client sign-off on DFM recommendations.
Production Execution
Approved orders trigger automated scheduling across our Houston cleanroom facility’s 18 CNC workcells. Each job includes:
Material certification verification (mill test reports for AMS 4027 aluminum or equivalent)
In-process CMM inspections at 25%, 50%, and 100% completion stages
Real-time machining data logging (spindle load, vibration, tool wear) via MTConnect protocol
First-article inspection reports aligned to client’s FAIR/PPAP requirements
All critical dimensions undergo thermal compensation checks to counter Houston’s ambient humidity fluctuations, ensuring metrology stability per ISO 17025 standards.
Delivery Assurance
Finished components undergo final cleaning per ASTM F314 and packaging in ESD-safe containers. Delivery timelines are strictly governed by our Houston logistics hub:
| Order Complexity | Standard Lead Time | Rush Option (72h) |
|---|---|---|
| Simple 3-axis (≤5 ops) | 5 business days | 3 business days |
| Complex 5-axis (≥12 ops) | 10 business days | 5 business days |
All shipments include full traceability documentation: material certs, CMM reports, process logs, and non-conformance records if applicable. We maintain a 99.2% on-time delivery rate for Houston-region clients through dedicated UPS/FedEx partnerships with guaranteed 10AM delivery slots.
This closed-loop process ensures clients receive machined parts with zero surprises on cost, quality, or schedule – transforming traditional CNC procurement into a predictable engineering partnership. Honyo’s Houston facility operates under ISO 9001:2015 and Nadcap accreditation, providing auditable rigor from CAD upload to dock delivery.
