Speed and Precision: The Twin Engines of Product Innovation
Time-to-Market is Critical: Hardware startups and product engineers face relentless pressure to iterate quickly. Delays in prototyping can derail entire launch timelines—every day counts.
Precision = Functionality: Tight tolerances (±0.01mm) aren’t just technical specs—they ensure parts work as designed. No compromises on performance, even in complex geometries.
Innovation Demands Both: Speed without precision leads to rework; precision without speed stifles agility. Honyo Prototype merges both into a seamless workflow for real-world results.

Material Selection Guide
Select materials that align with mechanical, environmental, and cost requirements while maintaining machinability for tight tolerances (±0.01mm):
Aluminum 6061: Ideal for structural components requiring a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of machining. Commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics. Offers excellent weldability and cost-effectiveness for high-volume prototypes.
Aluminum 7075: High-strength alloy for aerospace, defense, and high-stress applications. Delivers superior tensile strength but requires precision machining to avoid stress cracking—perfect for weight-sensitive designs.
Stainless Steel 304: Non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and food-safe. Ideal for medical devices, food processing equipment, and architectural applications where hygiene and durability are critical.
Stainless Steel 316: Enhanced corrosion resistance (due to molybdenum) for marine environments, chemical processing, and implantable medical devices. Maintains integrity in harsh, saline, or acidic conditions.
Brass: Superior electrical conductivity and machinability. Used in electrical connectors, plumbing fixtures, and decorative hardware. Resists corrosion in freshwater and offers a polished aesthetic.
PEEK: High-performance thermoplastic for extreme environments. Exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature stability (up to 250°C), and biocompatibility. Ideal for aerospace, medical implants, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Surface Finish Options
Elevate part functionality and aesthetics with finishes tailored to your project’s demands:
Anodizing: Creates wear-resistant, corrosion-protective coatings for aluminum. Available in clear, black, or vibrant colors—ideal for both functional and aesthetic applications (e.g., consumer electronics housings).
Powder Coating: Durable, uniform finish with exceptional scratch resistance. Offers 200+ color options and textures for industrial equipment, automotive parts, and consumer products.
Electropolishing: Smooths stainless steel surfaces to a mirror-like finish while improving corrosion resistance. Critical for medical instruments and food-grade components requiring ultra-clean surfaces.
Plating (Nickel, Chrome, Zinc): Adds protective layers for enhanced conductivity, wear resistance, or visual appeal. Commonly used in electrical contacts, automotive trim, and decorative hardware.
Mechanical Polishing: Achieves high-gloss, flawless surfaces for visible components. Perfect for optical parts, luxury consumer goods, and precision instrumentation.
Passivation: Removes surface contaminants from stainless steel to maximize corrosion resistance. Essential for medical and aerospace components where purity is non-negotiable.
