FYI
Basically, I agree with both Jianming and chancetech’s explanations.
But the context also indicated that he has taken all the fine points from various designs and putting it all together into his (and hope to achieve excellence!)
So ’共冶一炉’ literally means ‘putting it all in one place’ and expecting to achieve “excellence” as a result.

此句的关键似在“精粹”。“共冶一炉”意为融众家精粹（the essence and features ）创建自家特色（unique），着意全局，意译为佳，不宜拘泥单词。
