In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, speed and precision are essential—but so is simplicity. For many companies, managing multiple vendors for cutting, machining, forming, welding, and assembly introduces unnecessary delays, miscommunication, and higher costs.
That’s where integrated manufacturing comes in.
At Caltech Manufacturing, we offer true end-to-end production—from laser cutting to turnkey assembly—under one roof. This streamlined approach helps our customers get to market faster, with fewer headaches and a higher-quality finished product.
What Is Integrated Manufacturing?
Integrated manufacturing is a vertically aligned approach where all major steps of the production process are handled by a single provider. Instead of sourcing parts from one vendor, welding from another, and final assembly from a third, everything happens within one coordinated workflow.
At Caltech, our capabilities include:
- Flat and tube laser cutting
- CNC machining
- Forming and bending
- MIG, TIG, and robotic welding
- PEM and hardware insertion
- Final mechanical assembly and packaging
We take raw material to finished product with minimal handoffs—so you don’t have to manage multiple suppliers or worry about quality falling through the cracks.
5 Benefits of Working with an End-to-End Manufacturing Partner
1. Faster Turnaround Times
When all operations are under one roof, you save days—or even weeks—of lead time. We don’t wait for third-party shipments or back-and-forth approvals. Your project keeps moving.
2. Better Quality Control
With a single team handling all processes, there’s full accountability. Our technicians understand your specs from the start, and we perform in-line checks at every stage to ensure the highest precision and consistency.
3. Lower Total Cost
While individual services might seem cheaper when outsourced, the hidden costs—like shipping, rework, and delays—add up fast. Our integrated model eliminates those inefficiencies and gives you transparent, predictable pricing.
4. Simplified Communication
Instead of juggling updates from multiple vendors, you have a single point of contact at Caltech. That means fewer emails, fewer calls, and fewer misunderstandings.
5. Design & Engineering Collaboration
Need a second opinion on your prototype? Looking for feedback to optimize for manufacturability? Our cross-functional team can work with your engineers to make smart adjustments before anything hits the shop floor.
Who Benefits Most from Integrated Assembly?
We support customers across multiple industries—including:
- Transportation (frames, brackets, tube structures)
- Medical equipment (precision housings, formed components)
- Retail and point-of-sale displays (custom-fabricated fixtures)
- OEMs (subassemblies and finished products)
Whether you’re a startup scaling a new product or a large OEM seeking consistent production, our integrated approach helps reduce complexity and keep projects on track.
Real-World Example: From Laser Cut to Crate-Ready
Here’s how a typical Caltech project flows:
- Design Review – Our team evaluates CAD drawings and identifies optimization opportunities.
- Cutting & Machining – Material is processed using flat or tube lasers, CNC mills, or lathes.
- Forming & Welding – Components are formed, joined, and inspected for dimensional accuracy.
- Hardware Insertion – PEMs and specialty fasteners are added as needed.
- Final Assembly – Products are assembled, packaged, and shipped per your specs.
It’s a full-service experience—with zero compromise on quality or speed.
