Materials & Surface Finishes

Material Options & Finishes: Precision for Every Application
Honyo Prototype delivers engineered material solutions tailored for machine components, balancing performance, cost, and scalability. Our AI-driven platform ensures optimal material and finish selection—no guesswork, no delays.
Thermoplastic Materials for Machine Components
ABS: High impact strength and rigidity. Ideal for structural housings, automotive brackets, and consumer electronics where durability meets cost efficiency.
Polycarbonate (PC): Exceptional heat resistance and optical clarity. Perfect for transparent safety shields, high-stress mechanical parts, and UV-exposed outdoor machinery.
Polypropylene (PP): Chemical and moisture resistance. Best for fluid-handling components, seals, and parts exposed to oils or harsh environments.
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers): Rubber-like flexibility with injection molding efficiency. Designed for ergonomic grips, vibration dampeners, and sealing applications requiring soft-touch surfaces.
💡 Pro Tip: For machinery applications, prioritize materials that withstand thermal cycling, abrasion, and chemical exposure. Our AI tool cross-references your design specs with real-world performance data to recommend the best fit.
Surface Finishes for Enhanced Performance & Aesthetics
Painting & Powder Coating: Custom color matching and corrosion resistance for both plastic and metal components. Ideal for industrial equipment requiring branded aesthetics.
Texturing: Matte, satin, or custom patterns (e.g., leather grain, pebbled) to improve grip, reduce fingerprints, and elevate visual appeal.
High-Gloss Polishing: Mirror-like finish for premium consumer-facing parts or optical components.
Anodizing (Metal Inserts): Wear-resistant, decorative finish for aluminum inserts—perfect for electrical enclosures or structural hardware.
Laser Engraving: Precision marking for serial numbers, logos, or regulatory info without compromising part integrity.
Smart Material Selection for Your Application
Mechanical Stress: Use PC for high-load scenarios; ABS for balanced toughness. TPE excels in dynamic flexing applications.
Environmental Exposure: PP handles chemicals; PC resists UV degradation. Our platform flags environmental risks during design review.
Volume Optimization: Bridge tooling (100–10,000+ parts) enables premium materials like PC or TPE at low-volume costs—no need for expensive high-cavity molds.
DFM-Driven Insights: Our AI analyzes geometry, undercuts, and tolerances to suggest material/finish combinations that slash costs by up to 30% while meeting specs.
