All parts are machined using optimized toolpaths and rigid fixturing to maintain repeatability and geometric accuracy. Multi-axis capabilities enable single-setup machining of complex features, reducing cumulative error and improving overall part integrity. Material selection guidance is provided based on functional requirements including strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance.


From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Custom Aluminum Parts Order Process

Our streamlined workflow for custom aluminum part production begins with digital integration and concludes with certified delivery, ensuring technical precision and timeline adherence for B2B clients. The process eliminates traditional quoting bottlenecks while embedding engineering rigor at each phase.

Upload CAD
Clients initiate orders by uploading native or neutral CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) via our secure customer portal. The system validates geometric integrity and confirms aluminum alloy compatibility (e.g., 6061-T6, 7075-T6). File acceptance triggers automated metadata extraction for dimensional analysis and material requirements, with immediate feedback on unsupported formats or critical geometry errors.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Within 90 seconds, our proprietary AI engine generates a formal quotation based on real-time production parameters. Unlike static algorithms, the system cross-references live data from CNC machining centers, material stock levels, and labor capacity. Key cost drivers include:

Factor Traditional Quoting Honyo AI Quoting
Pricing Basis Manual labor hours Machine cycle time + material waste optimization
Material Cost Fixed vendor rates Dynamic scrap rate adjustment per part geometry
Lead Time Estimate Fixed buffer days Machine queue depth + setup optimization
Tolerance Impact Not quantified upfront Cost delta per IT grade deviation

The quote includes explicit cost breakdowns for secondary operations (e.g., anodizing, deburring) and flags non-value-added features.

Engineered DFM Analysis
All orders undergo mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by our aluminum machining specialists. This phase focuses on mitigating aluminum-specific risks:
Wall thickness validation against minimum bend radii for milled features
Chip evacuation analysis for deep pockets in 6061 aluminum
Thermal distortion compensation for thin-walled geometries
Anodizing clearance verification (minimum 0.2mm gaps)
Tool access assessment for internal radii below 0.5mm

Clients receive an actionable DFM report with annotated CAD markups and tolerance rationalization. Critical deviations trigger collaborative engineering sessions before production release.

Precision Production
Approved designs enter our dedicated aluminum production cell featuring:
Haas VF-2SS vertical mills with high-pressure coolant for aluminum swarf management
Automated tool presetters ensuring ±0.005mm tool length accuracy
In-process probing for first-article validation per AS9102 standards
Dedicated aluminum workholding to prevent cross-contamination from steel machining

All parts undergo mandatory post-process validation: CMM inspection for critical features (report available upon request), surface roughness verification (Ra ≤ 1.6µm standard), and visual inspection for burrs per ISO 1302.

Certified Delivery
Shipments include:
Traceable material certificates (mill test reports for alloy composition)
Dimensional conformance documentation (GD&T callouts per ASME Y14.5)
Packaging engineered for aluminum part protection (VCI paper for corrosion prevention)
Real-time logistics tracking with temperature/humidity monitoring for sensitive finishes

Standard lead time is 7–12 business days from DFM sign-off, with expedited 72-hour options for prototypes. Every shipment meets ISO 9001:2015 controls, with full process audit trails available through the client portal. This integrated approach reduces time-to-part by 40% versus conventional prototyping while ensuring manufacturing feasibility is validated before metal cutting begins.
