哥本哈根与伦敦的多家灯具、家具品牌近年重启小批量砂铸黄铜件(拉手、灯座、铰链盖):铝模或树脂模造型,湿砂一箱四件,浇注 CW617N(CuZn40Pb)约 1150℃,铸态即可车削装配。单批 50–200 件,铸面保留细砂肌理成为设计语言——部分品牌只做滚筒去毛刺而不抛光。相比压铸,砂铸开模费低约 70%,改型只需换模,特别适合限量系列与季节性上新。

Several Copenhagen and London lighting and furniture brands have revived small-batch sand-cast brass hardware (pulls, lamp bases, hinge covers): aluminum or resin patterns, four impressions per green-sand flask, pouring CW617N (CuZn40Pb) at ~1150°C, machining-ready as-cast. Batches run 50–200 pieces, and the fine sand texture is kept as a design signature — some brands only tumble-deburr and never polish. Compared with die casting, tooling costs about 70% less and revisions only need a new pattern, ideal for limited editions and seasonal drops. ---
