Overview
Manetco is an engineering partner helping startups and R&D teams quickly test and develop new technologies through custom development with short iteration loops. The company specializes in material chemistry, CAD design, chemical engineering, and lean equipment development, offering services including custom mixer and reactor design, pump technology selection, and material engineering for challenging operating conditions.
In the news
- Recently, an R&D director came to us with a publication in hand. It described a continuous flow reactor with a complex internal structure and results that matched exactly what his team was trying to achieve. He wanted to test the same principle in his own lab. However, the reactor described in the paper was 3D-printed in stainless steel, which has specific manufacturing constraints. It requires resources for CAD design and a deep understanding of the technology’s limitations. We also had to integrate the design with his existing
- How to cut microfluidics iteration time by 4? A look back at our latest technical collaboration. Recently, a major pharmaceutical group reached out to us with a very specific need: their R&D lab had developed an automated high-throughput screening platform and wanted to accurately replicate their microfluidic production process. To manufacture their microfluidic chips, the team initially considered traditional injection molding. The problem? Between mold design, tooling, and final production, every single design iteration took
- 3D printing is a game-changer for organ-on-chip applications, enabling the creation of highly complex equipment that traditional methods simply can’t achieve. If you need to adapt multiwell plates or develop custom microfluidic structures, we use high-precision technologies and biocompatible resins to turn your concept into a functional prototype in just days. The resins we use support exceptionally high cell survival rates. At Manetco, we specialize in engineering to transform your idea or a scientific paper into concrete,
- From idea to testable prototype, in weeks not months. Too often, testing a new idea in the lab means waiting 6 to 12 months for a custom machine to be built, only to discover the real problems once it finally arrives. There's a faster way. Exploring a new idea often means testing it quickly in the lab to see whether it works. To do this, researchers have a real opportunity. They can adopt new lab technologies to explore more parameters in less time, or to build significantly more efficient processes. But R&D teams and startups
- From the conversations we have with our customers, one challenge comes back again and again: controlling particle size and keeping it consistent batch after batch. It shows up everywhere fluids are involved: pharma, biotech, fine chemistry, nanoparticle synthesis and encapsulation, additive injection in plastics processing, and many more. In all of them, fast product development and reliable screening depend on one thing — understanding and controlling the fluidics. The physics is simple to state. Forming particles is a
