From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype delivers a streamlined laser cutting workflow engineered for precision manufacturing partners requiring rapid, reliable prototyping and low-volume production. Our process eliminates traditional quoting bottlenecks through integrated digital systems while maintaining rigorous engineering oversight. The sequence begins with CAD file submission via our secure web portal, which accepts industry-standard DXF and DWG formats with automated validation for layer integrity and unit consistency. Invalid geometries trigger immediate client notification with specific error diagnostics, preventing downstream delays.
The AI-powered quoting engine processes validated files using a statistically validated cost model incorporating 18+ parameters beyond basic material thickness. This includes dynamic calculation of kerf compensation requirements, nesting efficiency algorithms optimizing sheet utilization, edge quality grading based on material grade and thickness, and machine-specific acceleration profiles affecting cut time. Quotes are generated in under 90 seconds with full cost transparency showing material, machine time, and finishing cost breakdowns.
All quotes undergo mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by our AS9100-certified engineering team. This phase identifies critical manufacturability constraints including minimum feature sizes relative to material thickness, thermal distortion risks in complex geometries, and recommendations for tab retention strategies. Clients receive annotated DFM reports with actionable suggestions, such as adjusting internal corner radii to prevent melt accumulation in 6mm+ stainless steel. Complex geometries triggering potential tolerance stack-up issues receive personalized engineer consultation.
Production leverages our fiber laser fleet (4kW to 12kW IPG resonators) with real-time process monitoring. Each job includes first-article inspection against ASME Y14.5 geometric dimensioning standards, with CMM reports available upon request. Material traceability is maintained via QR-coded inventory tags linking to mill certificates. Secondary operations like deburring or edge rounding are integrated within our 72-hour production window for standard orders.
Final delivery utilizes our climate-controlled logistics network with real-time shipment tracking. All parts ship in ESD-safe packaging with serialized work orders matching the original DFM documentation. Typical lead time from approved quote to shipment is 3-5 business days for quantities under 50 units, with rush options available for time-critical projects. This closed-loop system ensures dimensional accuracy within ±0.1mm while reducing time-to-part by 65% compared to traditional manufacturing procurement cycles.
