Both are premium copper alloys, and both work very well for microfusion. The best choice depends on the look, finishing, and the “feel” you want.

• Brass (Copper + Zinc)
  
  Colour/feel: typically more yellow-gold and “bright” in tone.
  
  Finishing: generally easier to polish to a high shine and gives an excellent base for galvanic plating (gold, nickel, light antique effects, etc.).
  
  Use cases: fashion hardware where you want a clean, bright, luxury look and consistent plating results.
  
• Bronze (Copper + Tin, sometimes other elements)
  
  Colour/feel: usually warmer / more reddish-brown than brass, often perceived as more “classic” or “heritage.”
  
  Finishing: also polishes well, but it’s especially appreciated for antique, vintage, and brushed finishes because the base tone supports those looks naturally.
  
  Use cases: premium accessories where you want a warmer tone or a more “traditional” character under antique or brushed galvanic.
  
  
• Strength & durability (practical view)
  Both are strong and suitable for premium accessories. Depending on the exact alloy, bronze can feel slightly “tougher” in wear, but for most accessories, the decision is mainly aesthetic + finishing + cost.
  

If the client has a target look (bright gold / light antique/deep antique / brushed), we can recommend the best option and, if needed, provide a sample to validate colour and finishing.

We can work from a 3D file (STEP preferred) or from a physical master sample. For microfusion, the master is typically made in brass or resin, and then we create a silicone mold for wax injection.

Because microfusion is a repeatable process only be done when we can inject wax copies. The silicone mold lets us create identical wax parts, assemble them on a tree, then cast multiple pieces in one cycle.

Normally no visible die-casting parting line. You may still have sprue marks (feeding points) that are removed and finished during post-processing.

Microfusion is ideal for: organic curves, deep relief, engraved logos, textures, and 3D forms that would be difficult or expensive in die-casting.

Yes — microfusion handles undercuts and deep relief much better than die-casting. Just remember: the more complex the geometry, the more important the wax release and the more careful the finishing.

Yes. Microfusion is excellent for logos, serial marks, and engraving, especially for premium accessories.

Microfusion is very precise for casting, but it’s still a casting process. If you need tight fits (pins, slots, screw holes), we recommend post-machining/drilling after casting.

Small holes can be cast, but for reliable assembly, we usually cast a pilot shape and then drill/finish tothe final size.

Yes — we can drill, face, refine edges, or add functional details after casting (useful for buckles, hinges, precision fits).

Microfusion requires more manual work: sprue removal → assembly (if needed) → polishing → preparation for galvanic.

No fixed MOQ — microfusion can be made in very small batches. Cost per piece decreases when we can fill trees efficiently, so higher volume = lower unit cost.

Typical production time is 10–15 working days (depending on quantity, finishing level, and galvanic scheduling).

Best levers:

• Increase the quantity to fill trees efficiently
  
• Reduce extreme thin sections and sharp corners (less scrap + less polishing)
  
• Avoid unnecessary deep cavities that trap wax or require heavy finishing
  
• Standardise sizes where possible (same mold family)
  

Yes, microfusion is chosen specifically when you need high surface quality—but the final result depends on the requested polish level and the geometry (deep textures vs mirror polish).
