From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Steeltek Catalog Process Overview
Honyo Prototype’s Steeltek Catalog streamlines rapid procurement of standardized steel components through an integrated digital workflow. This process eliminates traditional quoting bottlenecks while ensuring manufacturability and cost efficiency. Below is the technical sequence:

Upload CAD
Customers initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, or native SolidWorks) via Honyo’s secure portal. The system performs automated validation against ISO 128 drafting standards and Steeltek’s geometric constraints for sheet metal, structural steel, and machined steel components. Invalid submissions trigger real-time feedback on tolerance conflicts, unsupported features, or material specification gaps.

AI-Powered Quoting
Validated CAD data feeds into Honyo’s proprietary AI engine, trained on 200,000+ historical steel fabrication projects. The algorithm analyzes material utilization, machine time, secondary operations, and logistics to generate a binding quote within 90 seconds. Key inputs include:

Parameter	AI Analysis Scope	Output Precision
Material Cost	Real-time scrap rate + commodity price indexing	±3.2% variance
Machine Time	CNC turret press/laser cut path optimization	±4.7% accuracy
Secondary Ops	Deburring, welding, coating feasibility scoring	Pass/fail + cost
Logistics	Flat-pack nesting + regional carrier integration	Zone-based ETA

This stage achieves 95% quote accuracy versus manual methods, with human oversight for complex assemblies.

Engineered DFM Integration
Unlike automated-only DFM tools, Honyo’s process pairs AI insights with senior manufacturing engineer review. The system flags non-optimal features (e.g., bend radii below material thickness, weld accessibility issues) and proposes actionable alternatives. Customers receive a DFM report within 4 business hours, including:
Cost-impact analysis of suggested modifications
Lead time reduction opportunities via feature consolidation
Material substitution options for supply chain resilience
Customer approval of DFM recommendations is mandatory before production release, ensuring zero misinterpretation risk.

Precision Production
Approved jobs enter Honyo’s dedicated Steeltek production cell featuring:
Amada CNC turret presses (up to 4m x 2m capacity) with auto-tool changers
Trumpf laser cutters (3kW fiber) for ≤25mm mild/stainless steel
Robotic welding cells with AWS D1.1-certified programming
Real-time SPC monitoring tracks critical dimensions against GD&T callouts, with automated deviation alerts. All components undergo first-article inspection per AS9102 standards before batch processing.

Guaranteed Delivery
Honyo controls logistics through pre-negotiated carrier partnerships with regional hubs in North America, Europe, and APAC. Standard lead times are:

Component Type	Avg. Lead Time	On-Time Delivery Rate
Sheet Metal Parts	5-7 business days	98.7%
Structural Assemblies	8-10 business days	96.2%
Machined Steel	7-9 business days	97.5%

Customers receive shipment tracking with live GPS coordinates and customs clearance documentation via the portal. A 24-hour delivery failure protocol triggers expedited freight at Honyo’s expense.

This closed-loop process reduces steel component time-to-ship by 63% versus industry averages while maintaining ISO 9001:2015-compliant quality. The integration of AI validation with human engineering judgment ensures cost predictability without compromising manufacturability.
