From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype executes stainless steel laser cutting services through a rigorously defined digital workflow designed for precision, speed, and manufacturability assurance. This integrated process eliminates traditional bottlenecks while maintaining stringent quality control for industrial clients requiring rapid prototyping or low-volume production.

CAD File Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG) via our secure customer portal. Our system automatically validates geometric integrity, layer structure, and unit consistency. Non-native formats undergo automated conversion with dimensional cross-checking to prevent import errors. File acceptance triggers immediate notification, with rejected uploads specifying exact correction requirements within 15 minutes. This phase ensures downstream processes operate on technically sound geometry.

AI-Powered Instant Quoting
Upon file validation, proprietary AI algorithms analyze part geometry, material specifications, and nesting efficiency against live machine capacity data. The system generates a comprehensive quote within 90 seconds, detailing cost breakdown by material consumption, machine runtime, and secondary operations. Critical parameters include edge quality class (VDI 3406), kerf allowance, and heat-affected zone projections. Quotes remain valid for 72 hours and include real-time production slot availability. Human engineering oversight validates all AI outputs for complex geometries or non-standard materials.

Engineering-Led DFM Analysis
Every quoted job undergoes mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by our certified manufacturing engineers. This phase identifies potential fabrication risks including minimum feature spacing violations, unsupported geometries causing thermal distortion, and suboptimal nesting patterns affecting yield. Clients receive a DFM report with actionable recommendations—such as adjusting internal radii or consolidating features—prior to production commitment. This step typically reduces post-cut rework by 65% and is conducted collaboratively via integrated mark-up tools within 4 business hours.

Precision Laser Cutting Production
Approved jobs enter our production queue with strict adherence to material certifications and process parameters. We utilize 15kW fiber laser systems with integrated fume extraction and real-time power monitoring for consistent cut quality across all stainless grades. Material handling follows AS9100-compliant protocols with full traceability from raw sheet to finished part.

Material processing capabilities are summarized below:

Material Grade	Thickness Range	Max Sheet Size	Typical Tolerance
304/304L SS	0.5mm – 25mm	1500x3000mm	±0.1mm
316/316L SS	0.5mm – 20mm	1500x3000mm	±0.1mm
430 SS	0.8mm – 16mm	1250x2500mm	±0.15mm
17-4PH SS	1.0mm – 12mm	1000x2000mm	±0.1mm (solution treated)

All cuts undergo in-process verification via machine-mounted cameras checking critical dimensions at 500mm intervals. Secondary operations like deburring or edge rounding are performed per client specifications using automated finishing cells.

Quality-Controlled Delivery
Completed parts undergo final inspection against ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards with first-article reports provided for production runs. Dimensional verification uses calibrated CMMs with 3D scanning for complex contours. Parts ship in ESD-safe packaging with serialized traceability tags, accompanied by material certs and inspection documentation. Standard delivery is 5–7 business days from DFM approval, with expedited 72-hour options available. Real-time shipment tracking integrates with client ERP systems via API, while our logistics partners maintain ISO 28199-compliant handling for stainless components to prevent surface contamination.

This closed-loop process delivers certified stainless steel components with 99.2% on-time delivery performance, reducing time-to-prototype by 40% compared to conventional fabrication vendors through seamless digital integration between engineering and production systems.
