From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype delivers precision components for large-scale machining clients through a rigorously defined digital workflow optimized for enterprise scalability and compliance. Our process eliminates traditional quotation bottlenecks while ensuring manufacturability and traceability from initial upload to final delivery.

CAD Upload and AI-Powered Quotation
Clients submit native CAD files (STEP, Parasolid, or native SOLIDWORKS) via our secure enterprise portal, which auto-extracts critical geometric and material data. Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the model against 12,000+ historical production records, real-time machine availability, and global material pricing databases. Within 90 minutes, clients receive a detailed quote specifying exact lead times, cost drivers, and potential risk flags—such as thin-wall features below 0.5mm or non-standard tolerances exceeding ±0.005mm. Unlike manual quoting, our AI achieves 95% cost accuracy by correlating feature complexity with actual machine time from similar aerospace and medical projects.

Automated DFM Analysis and Collaboration
Following quote acceptance, our system performs a rules-based Design for Manufacturability check using client-specific constraints (e.g., ISO 2768-mK for automotive Tier 1s). The DFM report highlights actionable improvements:
Suggested tolerance relaxation from ±0.002mm to ±0.005mm on non-critical surfaces (reducing cycle time by 18%)
Identification of unnecessary chamfers increasing tool changes
Material waste reduction via optimized stock sizing

Clients review interactive 3D markups directly in the portal, with engineering teams available for real-time virtual collaboration to resolve conflicts. Typical DFM iterations conclude within 24 hours, accelerating time-to-approval by 65% versus traditional email chains.

Production Execution with Closed-Loop Control
Approved designs trigger automated work orders integrated with our MES. Key production protocols include:
First-article inspection against AS9102 forms with full CMM traceability
In-process SPC monitoring of critical dimensions (e.g., bearing bores held to ±0.008mm)
Real-time machine telemetry feeding predictive maintenance algorithms to avoid unplanned downtime

All operations follow documented work instructions with tooling validation records. For high-volume runs, we implement poka-yoke fixtures and automated gauging, maintaining first-pass yield rates above 99.2% across 50+ CNC centers.

Delivery and Compliance Handoff
Shipments include serialized barcodes linked to digital quality dossiers containing:
Material certs (EN 10204 3.1/3.2)
Full inspection reports with deviation tracking
Process capability data (Cp/Cpk ≥1.67 for critical features)

We adhere to strict ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) protocols via EDI 856, with JIT delivery options synchronized to client production schedules. Final delivery includes a post-project review analyzing actual vs. quoted metrics for continuous improvement.

The table below quantifies throughput advantages for enterprise clients:

Process Phase	Traditional Approach	Honyo Prototype	Improvement
Quotation Turnaround	5-10 business days	<2 hours	98% faster
DFM Iteration Time	3-7 days	<24 hours	80% faster
First-Article Lead Time	14 days	7 days	50% faster
On-Time Delivery Rate	82%	99.4%	17.4% higher

This integrated approach ensures large machining companies achieve predictable cost control, reduced program risk, and seamless integration into their supply chain ecosystems—all while maintaining full compliance with IATF 16949 and AS9100 standards. We provide dedicated program management for enterprise accounts, ensuring single-point accountability from RFQ through end-of-life support.
