monoblock

One solid unit

A monoblock is something cast or constructed as a single continuous piece rather than assembled from parts.

The term appears in manufacturing and design contexts: a monoblock engine has its cylinders cast together, monoblock chairs are molded plastic, and monoblock amplifiers house everything in one chassis.

The emphasis is on unified construction—no joints, no seams.
