Notes

Two-way snap-fit can be opened from the outside with a tool that lifts the snap’s hook. For this, one of the two components must have a fissure to allow the tool (usually a screwdriver) to be pushed in and then to lift the components apart.
- 2.
If the screwed material is made of the same material of the screw, there is no problem.
- 3.
Here, bolts refer to the set of screw, nut and washer.
- 4.
Often possible only with amorphous thermoplastic polymers and hard to apply to crystalline or semi-crystalline polymers.
