Zusammenfassung:A part having at least two portions thereof secured to one another, yet moveable with respect to one another, includes a homogeneous first portion and a homogeneous second portion, wherein a portion of the first portion extends through the second portion, and is secured therein. The part can be configured as a hinge, a chain, etc., wherein the first part includes a pin extending therefrom including a second portion having an enlarged width with respect to the smallest width of a first portion thereof, which is received within a bore in the second portion, wherein the bore includes a second portion having a width greater than the smallest width of a first portion thereof, and the second portion of the pin is received within the second portion of the bore to secure the first part to the second part, but allow movement therebetween. Using additive manufacturing techniques, the first part and second part are formed simultaneously.
