Techniques

We combine precision molding expertise with diverse processing capabilities to deliver parts built to perform in any application.

We have mastered a comprehensive suite of advanced molding and assembly techniques.

At Manterra, we believe manufacturing shouldn’t be limited by the constraints of a standard injection molding machine. Whether you need an ergonomic seal, an optical lens, or a complex structural housing, we will integrate the right technique to ensure your product is optimized for performance, quality, and cost.

Techniques

Optically Clear Molding

Requires absolute cleanliness, thermal management, mirror-finished tooling, and careful handling to ensure perfectly clear parts.

Overmolded Elastomers

This is essential for ergonomic grips, water-tight seals, and impact-resistant housings.

Painted & Chrome Plated

Plastic parts often require the aesthetic or conductive properties of metal. We handle the process from raw molding to the final finished look.

Electromagnetic Welding

This is an incredibly strong, clean, and invisible joining method that is superior to sonic welding for large or irregularly shaped parts.

Ultrasonically Welded Inserts

It is fast, clean, and creates a high-strength connection without the need for adhesives or heat-staking that can weaken the plastic.

Two-Shot Injection Molding

This eliminates the need for manual assembly or gluing, significantly reducing your labor costs and piece-price.
