Before revision:  This paper deals with the following separability problem in 3D space: Given a rigid polyhedron P with n vertices , does a semi-rigid polyhedron G exist, such that both polyhedra can be transformed into an inseparable assembled state, where the fixture snaps on to P, by applying a linear force and exploiting the mild flexibility of G? If such a flexible snapping polyhedron exists, devise an efficient and robust algorithm that constructs it.
