All CNC equipment acquired through resell auctions is recalibrated and integrated into our quality-controlled production environment. Machines are selected based on documented maintenance history, spindle condition, and thermal stability to ensure suitability for tight-tolerance work across engineering-grade materials including aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061, 7075), carbon and stainless steels (e.g., 1018, 17-4PH), and high-performance thermoplastics such as ABS and nylon.
From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype utilizes a proprietary digital manufacturing workflow for rapid CNC prototyping and low-volume production, often referenced internally as our RapidQuote™ process. The term “resell CNC auctions” does not align with our business model; Honyo operates as a direct manufacturer providing end-to-end production services, not a reseller or auction platform. Our validated workflow for CNC machining projects follows a structured sequence: CAD Upload → AI-Powered Quoting → Engineering DFM Review → Precision Production → Certified Delivery.
Upon customer initiation, the process begins with secure CAD file upload via our encrypted client portal. We accept industry-standard formats including STEP, IGES, and native SOLIDWORKS files. The system performs automated geometry validation to confirm manufacturability within CNC constraints before proceeding.
The AI Quote engine then analyzes the validated CAD model using machine learning algorithms trained on 500,000+ historical production datasets. This system calculates material requirements, machine time, toolpath complexity, and secondary operations while factoring in real-time material costs and shop floor capacity. Critical parameters such as geometric complexity, feature tolerances (down to ±0.025 mm), and surface finish specifications directly influence the cost algorithm. Quotes are typically generated within 90 minutes for standard parts.
Following quote generation, our manufacturing engineers conduct a formal Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review. This phase involves human validation of the AI’s recommendations, identifying potential cost-saving modifications such as feature consolidation, tolerance relaxation where functionally permissible, or material substitution. Engineers provide annotated feedback with specific revision suggestions via the portal, maintaining direct communication with the client’s design team to resolve conflicts. All DFM recommendations undergo strict adherence to ASME Y14.5 standards.
Approved designs advance to production in our climate-controlled facility housing 42 CNC machines (18 3-axis mills, 12 5-axis mills, 12 lathes). Each job receives a unique production ID triggering our MES system for real-time tracking. Machining employs high-precision tools with in-process CMM verification at critical stages. Material certifications and first-article inspection reports (FAIR) are generated per ISO 9001:2015 requirements.
Final delivery includes comprehensive documentation: dimensionally verified CMM reports, material traceability certificates, and surface roughness validation. Parts ship via client-specified logistics with tamper-evident packaging for critical components. Our standard lead times maintain consistent throughput as demonstrated in the production timeline table below.
| Material Category | Typical Setup Time | Machining Time Range | Total Lead Time (Business Days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Alloys (6061-T6, 7075) | 0.5 days | 1-3 days | 2-4 |
| Engineering Plastics (PEEK, Delrin) | 0.5 days | 1-4 days | 2-5 |
| Stainless Steel (303, 316) | 1 day | 2-5 days | 3-6 |
| Titanium Alloys (Grade 5) | 1.5 days | 3-7 days | 5-8 |
This integrated workflow reduces traditional quoting cycles by 70% while maintaining engineering rigor. All processes are designed for seamless integration with client PLM systems through API connectivity, ensuring data continuity from design validation through to final inspection documentation. Honyo’s commitment to closed-loop manufacturing feedback continuously refines our AI models using actual production outcomes, driving sustained accuracy in both cost estimation and delivery predictability.
