Plastic heat staking
or "thermal assembly" is an extremely fast and cost effective way to assemble two parts that consist of dissimiliar materials. When simple mechanical retention of one part to another is adequate (as opposed to molecular bonding) nothing beats heatstaking.
There is virtually no limitation to the part size; it's material composistion, or how many planes or points you need to stake.
