For future Googlers:

Since Laravel 5.1 you can use attachData() method to directly attach generated file without the need for saving it.

Source:
Manual - section Raw Data Attachments

The attachData method accepts the raw data bytes as its first argument, the name of the file as its second argument, and an array of options as its third argument:

 /**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */

public function build()
{
    return $this->view('emails.orders.shipped')
                ->attachData($this->pdf, 'name.pdf', [
                    'mime' => 'application/pdf',
                ]);
}
