All components are machined using hardened carbide tooling, high-precision collet systems, and real-time tool length compensation. In-process inspection and final CMM validation ensure conformance to engineering drawings and military specifications. Material certifications (mill test reports) are provided for traceability in mission-critical deployments.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype delivers certified military-grade CNC machining services through a rigorously controlled workflow designed for compliance, precision, and traceability. Our process adheres strictly to ITAR, DFARS, AS9100 Rev D, and NADCAP standards, ensuring all components meet stringent defense sector requirements. Below is the detailed sequence:
CAD Upload and Initial Validation
Clients submit CAD files via our secure, ITAR-compliant portal with mandatory classification markings (e.g., ITAR-controlled, UNCLASSIFIED). Our system immediately verifies file integrity, geometric completeness, and baseline adherence to military drawing standards (ASME Y14.5, MIL-STD-100). Any missing critical attributes—such as material specifications per AMS or MIL specs, surface finish callouts (e.g., AMS 2404), or non-visual inspection requirements—are flagged for client clarification before proceeding.
AI-Powered Quoting with Compliance Layer
Our proprietary AI engine generates instant cost and lead-time estimates by analyzing geometric complexity, material requirements (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V per AMS 4928, 4340 steel per AMS 6257), and machine-hour calculations. Crucially, this phase integrates automated compliance checks: ITAR jurisdiction verification, material pedigree validation against DFARS 252.225-7014, and facility capability alignment (e.g., Class 7 cleanroom for optics). Quotes include mandatory documentation costs (e.g., 3.1B material certs, C of C per MIL-I-45208) and are reviewed by a Senior Manufacturing Engineer for high-risk components.
Dual-Stage DFM Analysis
Honyo executes a two-tiered Design for Manufacturability review. First, automated algorithms assess tool accessibility, minimum wall thickness against MIL-STD-1553 tolerances, and fixture stability. Second, a designated AS9102-certified engineer conducts manual validation against military-specific constraints:
Verification of critical feature callouts per MIL-PRF-38534 for electronic housings
Stress concentration analysis for dynamic loads (MIL-STD-810H)
Secondary operation planning for plating/coating per AMS 2469
Thread engagement validation for fasteners (NASM8846)
All deviations trigger formal ECN workflows with the client, documented per AS9100 configuration management clauses.
Controlled Production Execution
Machining occurs in segregated, access-controlled cells with real-time monitoring. Key military-specific protocols include:
Material traceability via serialized bar stock with full heat treat and chemical certification
In-process inspections using calibrated CMMs (NIST-traceable) at defined hold points per MIL-STD-45662A
First-article inspection reports (FAIR) per AS9102, including 3D scan overlays against nominal CAD
Cleanliness verification (particulate counts per ISO 14644-1) for fluid system components
Laser marking per MIL-STD-130 for UID compliance, verified via 2D symbol validation
Certified Delivery and Documentation
Final shipment includes:
Complete traceability dossiers (material certs, process records, FAIR) in encrypted digital format
Physical packaging meeting MIL-STD-2073-1E for hazardous environments
Chain-of-custody logs with dual-signature verification
Certificate of Conformance explicitly citing relevant military standards (e.g., “Compliant with MIL-F-13926 Class 3”)
All deliveries undergo final QA audit by our AS9100-appointed representative, with non-conformances managed via ITAR-approved correction workflows. Typical lead time for Tier 1 defense contractors is 12–18 business days from CAD approval to certified shipment, with expedited ITAR-compliant air freight options.
