A two-part coupling for use in joining sections of pipe without additional fasteners is disclosed. The two-part coupling includes integral coupling features molded by additive manufacturing technology. The two-part coupling increases reliability, reduces weight, and provides ease of manufacture. The coupling distributes a fluid load so that the coupling can withstand pressures and leak rates in accordance with stringent standards. The two-part coupling can be coupled and de-coupled using a locking and release mechanism built into the integral parts. Assembly is made easier because the geometry of the coupling is amenable to additive manufacturing. Because the two-part coupling requires a lesser degree of precision, machined parts are not required.
