What to Include in a Build-to-Print RFQ
Box Build vs. Electromechanical Assembly
General Assembly & Manufacturing Corp. tests and validates electromechanical assemblies in-house through functional testing, in-process and final inspection, and build documentation to confirm each unit performs to spec before it leaves the floor.
For OEM engineers, a contract manufacturer is only as good as the units that pass test. GAMC builds testing and validation into the assembly process so problems are caught in-line, documented, and corrected before product ships. Functional checks, inspection, and records provide engineering and quality teams with the documentation needed to verify every lot.
What We Test & Validate
- Functional and operational testing against your acceptance criteria
- Pressure, leak, and flow-rate testing for fluid-, gas-, and air-movement assemblies
- In-process and final inspection to catch issues before final assembly
- System-level validation of completed electromechanical units and box builds
- Documentation, records, and traceability to customer requirements
Testing Built Into the Build
Assembly, integration, and testing, and design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) support all take place in-house, allowing work to be verified throughout production rather than only at final inspection. Finished assemblies are validated against customer specifications and shipped with the appropriate documentation.
Testing sits within GAMC’s broader electromechanical contract manufacturing capability, and follows the same standards described in quality control in contract manufacturing.
At a Glance

- Best fit: complex electromechanical programs, low-to-medium volume, hundreds to tens of thousands of units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does GAMC test the electromechanical assemblies it builds?
Yes. GAMC performs functional testing, inspection, and system-level validation in-house, with documentation provided for each build.
What kinds of testing are included?
Functional and operational testing, pressure, leak, and flow-rate testing for fluid-, gas-, and air-movement assemblies, in-process and final inspection, and validation of the completed assembly against your spec.
Will I receive test and inspection records?
Yes. GAMC provides build documentation, with product traceability and lot testing in accordance with your requirements, so your engineering and quality teams have a record.
Can GAMC build custom test fixtures?
Yes. GAMC supports functional testing for electromechanical builds and can evaluate custom test fixture requirements for your specific program.
Is testing available for low-volume programs?
Yes. GAMC is built for low-to-medium-volume electromechanical work, with testing and validation included in the build.
