The workflow initiates upon receipt of your CAD model. Our proprietary AI quoting system performs an immediate, detailed analysis of the geometry, material selection, required tolerances, and surface finishes. This system rapidly evaluates machine time, tooling complexity, material utilization, and potential secondary operations to generate an accurate, data-driven cost estimate and lead time projection within minutes. This initial AI assessment provides crucial transparency early in the procurement cycle, allowing for informed project decisions before formal commitment.
Following quote acceptance, the design enters our critical DFM phase. Honyo’s experienced manufacturing engineers meticulously review the CAD model, focusing explicitly on optimizing it for CNC production. This involves identifying and resolving potential issues such as non-manufacturable features, inadequate tool access, problematic wall thicknesses, excessive tolerance requirements leading to unnecessary cost, or suboptimal material choices. We assess feature geometry for efficient toolpath generation, evaluate fixturing requirements, and consider tolerancing strategy to prevent stack-up issues. Crucially, our engineers intervene proactively, providing clear, actionable feedback and collaborative suggestions for design modifications that enhance manufacturability without compromising functional intent. This step is paramount for avoiding costly delays, rework, and scrap during machining.
Upon DFM validation and final design sign-off, the part progresses to production. Certified CAM programmers generate optimized, collision-free toolpaths based on the approved design and material. These programs are rigorously verified using simulation software before deployment to the shop floor. Honyo utilizes a modern fleet of precision 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC machining centers, equipped with high-quality tooling and probing systems. Machining occurs under strict process controls, with in-process inspections verifying critical dimensions at defined stages. Post-machining, parts undergo final dimensional inspection against the original drawing using calibrated CMMs or optical comparators, followed by required surface finishing operations. Comprehensive documentation accompanies every shipment.
