From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Milling Shop Process Overview

Honyo Prototype executes a streamlined, technology-driven workflow for CNC milling projects, designed to minimize lead times while ensuring manufacturability and quality. The process begins when a client uploads a CAD file to our secure portal. We accept industry-standard formats including STEP, IGES, and native SOLIDWORKS files, with strict validation for geometric integrity and unit consistency. Incompatible or ambiguous geometries trigger immediate client notification to prevent downstream delays.

AI-Powered Quoting with Engineering Oversight
Upon CAD validation, our proprietary AI engine generates an initial quote within 2 hours. This system analyzes 30+ parameters: material density, feature complexity, toolpath length, fixture requirements, and real-time machine availability across our 5-axis milling fleet. Crucially, the AI output undergoes mandatory review by senior manufacturing engineers who verify feasibility, adjust for non-geometric factors like surface finish specifications, and apply cost-optimization strategies. Clients receive a detailed quote breakdown showing material costs, machine hours, and secondary operations—not just a lump sum.

Collaborative DFM Analysis
After quote acceptance, our DFM phase operates as a closed-loop engineering dialogue. Unlike automated DFM checkers, Honyo assigns a dedicated manufacturing engineer to evaluate:
Wall thicknesses below 0.5mm requiring specialized tooling
Deep cavity aspect ratios exceeding 8:1
Tolerance stacks impacting GD&T callouts
Material waste reduction opportunities
The engineer provides actionable feedback within 24 hours via annotated CAD markups and a formal report. Clients approve revisions digitally, with revised quotes issued for significant design changes. This step typically resolves 92% of manufacturability issues before metal cutting begins.

Precision Production Execution
Approved designs move to production with full traceability. Each job receives:
Material certification verification against ASTM/AMS standards
First-article inspection using calibrated CMMs for critical features
In-process checks at 30% and 70% completion milestones
Real-time machine monitoring via IoT sensors tracking spindle load, tool wear, and thermal drift
All milling occurs on our HAAS and DMG MORI centers with sub-5-micron repeatability, utilizing optimized toolpaths generated through Mastercam and verified in Vericut simulations.

Quality-Assured Delivery
Final inspection packages include:
FAI reports with dimensional data against original CAD
Material test certificates
Surface roughness measurements
Packaging customized for shock-sensitive components
Shipments include real-time logistics tracking with ETAs updated hourly. For expedited projects, clients access a live production dashboard showing machine status and inspection progress. Standard lead time from CAD upload to delivery is 5-7 business days for 1-10 part quantities, with rush options compressing this to 72 hours for qualifying geometries.

This integrated approach reduces prototyping iterations by 65% compared to industry averages while maintaining 99.2% on-time delivery performance across our milling portfolio.
