plastic

'material' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'snapshot capturing final' is the wordplay.
'snapshot' becomes 'pic' (I've seen this before).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'final' becomes 'last' (synonyms).
'pic' enclosing 'last' is 'PLASTIC'.

'manmade' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plastic that I've seen before include "Pliant" , "Lips act as a synthetic material" , "Unattractively synthetic" , "Credit cards are known as ....... money" , "Scalp it badly to make a synthetic material" .)
