Abstract

A fastening element (1) for fastening in components (2) comprises at least one cavity (3) being integrally formed within an inner region of the fastening element (1); and at least one deflection portion (4) being integrally formed at a surface region of the fastening element (1) proximate to the at least one cavity (3); wherein the deflection portion (4) is configured to resiliently deform into the cavity (3) upon application of external forces (F) to the deflection portion (4). A fastening assembly (5) comprises such a fastening element (1); and an engagement component (2) with a fastening hole (6); wherein the fastening hole (6) is shaped to engage with the fastening element (1) upon insertion of the fastening element (1) into the fastening hole (6) by resiliently deforming the at least one deflection portion (4) into the at least one cavity (3). A method for manufacturing such a fastening element (1) comprises manufacturing a fastening element (1) with at least one cavity (3) and at least one deflection portion (4) using an additive manufacturing or 3D printing technique.
