Manufacturing an assembly of a first and a second object

A method of manufacturing an assembly of a first and a second object, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a flowable compound;
• bringing the flowable compound into a first object shape;
• while the flowable compound is in the first object shape, subjecting the flowable compound to a hardening process that results in a change of a chemical composition of the flowable compound, thereby creating a hardened article of a modified compound having the first object shape, said hardened article constituting at least a part of the first object;
• providing the second object, the second object being formed from the flowable compound;
• positioning the first object relative to the second object;
• causing a flow portion of the hardened article of the modified compound to become flowable by an input of energy, and generating an interpenetration zone of the flow portion and structures of the second object;
• and
• allowing the flow portion to re-solidify, whereby the interpenetration zone between the re-solidified flow portion and the structures of the second object secures the first and second objects to each other.

Use of a material which comprises or is obtained by mixing together:

• 10-60% per weight of a binder;
• 5-50% per weight of a filling material;
• 2-50% per weight of an additive, and
• up to 83% per weight of a solvent
• for manufacturing a connector or reinforcement element.
