From CAD to Part: The Process
At Honyo Prototype, our machining process is engineered for precision, speed, and client transparency. We execute a structured workflow from initial design submission through final delivery, minimizing risk and maximizing manufacturability. Below is our standard operational sequence for CNC machining projects.
CAD Upload and Initial Processing
Clients initiate the process by uploading native or neutral format CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SLDPRT) via our secure customer portal. Our system performs an immediate format validation and geometry integrity check. This step confirms file compatibility with our CAM systems and identifies obvious topological errors such as non-manifold edges or missing surfaces. Clients receive instant notification of upload success or required file corrections, ensuring no project delay at the intake stage.
AI-Powered Quoting with Engineering Validation
Uploaded designs enter our proprietary AI quoting engine, which analyzes geometric complexity, feature density, material requirements, and tolerance specifications. The AI cross-references real-time data on machine availability, material costs, and historical production metrics to generate a preliminary cost and timeline estimate within 2 hours. Crucially, this AI output is never final. A dedicated Manufacturing Engineer reviews the AI assessment, validating feasibility against our CNC capabilities (3-axis to 5-axis milling, turning, mill-turn) and applying domain expertise to refine the quote. This dual-layer approach ensures quotes are both data-driven and technically sound, typically finalized within 24 business hours.
Engineering-Led DFM Analysis
Upon quote acceptance, our team conducts a rigorous Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review. This is not an automated checklist but an engineer-to-engineer collaboration. We identify potential production hurdles such as inadequate tool access, problematic wall thicknesses, or non-optimal tolerance stacking. Common findings and resolutions follow this pattern:
| Common DFM Issue | Honyo’s Resolution Approach |
|---|---|
| Internal radii smaller than standard tooling | Propose radius adjustment or specialty tooling with cost/time impact disclosure |
| Thin walls prone to chatter/vibration | Recommend thickness modification or adaptive machining strategy |
| Over-specified surface finishes on non-critical areas | Suggest relaxed finish standards to reduce cycle time |
| Unmachinable undercuts | Propose design modification or multi-setup solution |
Clients receive a detailed DFM report with annotated visuals and actionable recommendations. We require client sign-off on any design changes before proceeding, ensuring alignment on final specifications.
Precision Production Execution
Approved designs move to production on our certified CNC equipment (Haas, DMG MORI, Makino). Each job follows a controlled sequence: material procurement with full certification traceability, first-article inspection using calibrated CMMs and optical comparators, and in-process gauging for critical dimensions. Our MES (Manufacturing Execution System) provides clients real-time visibility into job status, including machine start/completion times and quality checkpoint results. All machined parts undergo final inspection against the original CAD model using 3D scanning where required, with full inspection reports delivered digitally.
Logistics and On-Time Delivery
Completed orders are packaged per client specifications (ESD-safe, custom crating) and processed through our integrated logistics platform. We provide automated shipping notifications with tracking and coordinate customs documentation for international deliveries. Every shipment includes a digital package with as-built inspection reports, material certifications, and process documentation. Our standard lead time for machined prototypes is 5-7 business days from DFM approval, with expedited options available. We maintain a 98.7% on-time delivery rate for machined components based on 2023 performance data.
This integrated process ensures technical rigor at every phase while maintaining the agility required for prototype and low-volume production. By embedding engineering oversight within each step—notably in quote validation and DFM—we prevent downstream issues that cause delays in conventional workflows. Clients receive certified, ready-to-use components with full documentation transparency from upload to delivery.
