Technical Capabilities
Laser Cut Metal Service – Technical Specifications
The following technical specifications outline the capabilities of Honyo Prototype’s precision manufacturing services, specializing in laser cutting, bending, and welding for prototyping and low-to-mid volume production. Our processes are optimized for metals and select engineering plastics, ensuring high accuracy, clean edges, and repeatable results.
| Process | Material Compatibility | Thickness Range | Tolerance | Max Part Size | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Cutting | Aluminum (5052, 6061), Mild Steel (CRS, HR), Stainless Steel (304, 316), ABS, Nylon | 0.5 mm – 25 mm (Aluminum & Steel), 1 mm – 6 mm (ABS, Nylon) | ±0.1 mm (metals), ±0.2 mm (plastics) | 1500 mm × 3000 mm | Fiber laser for metals; CO₂ laser for plastics. Burr-free cutting with minimal HAZ. |
| Bending | Aluminum, Mild Steel, Stainless Steel | 0.8 mm – 12 mm | ±0.2° angular, ±0.1 mm linear | Up to 3000 mm length | CNC press braking with tooling library. Bend radii as low as 1× material thickness. |
| Welding | Aluminum (TIG/MIG), Mild & Stainless Steel (MIG/TIG, Spot) | 1 mm – 20 mm | ±0.5 mm positional | Unlimited (joint-based) | Full weld penetration control. Post-weld grinding and polishing available. Certified welders. |
Notes:
Aluminum and steel are primary materials for all three processes. ABS and nylon are compatible only with laser cutting and are not suitable for bending or welding due to thermal deformation and lack of structural weldability. All metal parts receive deburring and edge finishing by default. First-article inspection reports and DFM feedback are provided upon request.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype Laser Cut Metal Service Process Overview
Honyo Prototype delivers precision laser cutting for metal components through a streamlined, technology-driven workflow designed for speed, accuracy, and manufacturability. Our process eliminates traditional quoting delays and ensures design viability before production begins, reducing risk and accelerating time-to-market for B2B clients.
Upload CAD
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, DWG, DXF, or native SOLIDWORKS) via our secure online portal. The system automatically validates file integrity, checks for unit consistency, and identifies critical features such as hole sizes, kerf allowances, and material thickness requirements. Unsupported formats trigger an immediate notification for resubmission, ensuring only production-ready geometry progresses.
AI-Powered Quoting
Uploaded designs enter our proprietary AI quoting engine, which analyzes geometric complexity, material utilization, and machine parameters against real-time shop floor data. The engine cross-references material availability, current machine loads, and secondary operation requirements to generate a firm quote within 2 hours. Quotes include granular cost breakdowns for material, laser time, and finishing, with options for expedited handling or alternative alloys. Human engineers validate all AI outputs to ensure accuracy, particularly for complex geometries or non-standard materials.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Review
Before production, every design undergoes automated and engineer-verified DFM analysis. Our system flags potential issues such as minimum bend radii violations, heat-affected zone risks near critical features, or nest inefficiencies. Clients receive a detailed DFM report within 24 hours, highlighting actionable recommendations—like adjusting cut sequences or modifying tolerances—to optimize yield and cost. This phase is collaborative; engineering teams engage directly with clients to resolve conflicts without delaying the timeline.
Production Execution
Approved designs move to production on our fiber laser systems (up to 4kW capacity, ±0.1mm accuracy). Key production stages include:
Material verification against ISO 9001-certified stock with full traceability
Dynamic nesting optimization to maximize sheet utilization
Real-time process monitoring for cut quality and dimensional compliance
Optional secondary operations (deburring, bending, welding) executed in-house
All parts undergo first-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102 standards, with full batch inspection reports available upon request. Typical production turnaround is 72 hours for standard orders.
Delivery and Traceability
Finished components ship with serialized barcodes linked to digital quality records accessible via the client portal. Packaging includes laser-etched part IDs, material certs, and a digital packing list. Clients receive real-time logistics tracking and can initiate returns or rework requests through the same portal. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days globally via DHL/FedEx, with expedited options available.
This integrated workflow ensures 95% of orders ship with zero DFM-related revisions, reducing total lead time by 40% compared to industry averages. All processes adhere to ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR-compliant controls for defense and aerospace clients.
