3D Design & Modeling

design and fabricate special furniture

When we aren’t machining parts for people we are typically utilizing our skills and equipment to design and fabricate special furniture that fuses top notch joinery & woodworking with mechanically engineered & electrical elements to solve space saving problems in the tiny house, RV, campervan and marine sector. Some of our previous pieces are available for reproduction. If you see any of our previous works that tickles your fancy and you think would fit nicely into your project, or you would like to commission a furniture piece, drop us a line. We would love to hear from you!

CNC ROUTING

We specialize in Computer Aided Design (3D Modelling).

Shaping of wooden parts for small to large production runs and sometimes even one off jobs. We use CNC machines that Automate the process and ensure precision, repeatability and the economies of scale. We love to fine tune the process at every opportunity to increase the quality and efficiency of the procedure and machine perfect parts for our customers. We can also engrave signs & logos including laser engraving for finer details. If you are thinking of creating a wooden product or simply need some tricky or repetitive shapes cut we would love to talk with you about your project and offer our services if they suit your needs.

Light fabrication

We enjoy to integrate lighting, charging, heating, plumbing, sounds and solar systems into our joinery.

This way we can think about the location of these components right from the design phase of the furniture piece making sure there is enough space to neatly fit what’s needed and ensure that the wiring is safe & concealed. It’s rewarding to see the finished product lit up at night and re assuring that you have light where you need it. No blind rummaging for your stuff in the dark! And yes we also install the solar chargers, power inverters, batteries & solar panels on the roof while we’re at it. We make custom roof racks to support solar panels where necessary.

We also stock and sell all the common electrical components that we use in our interiors such as lighting, fuse boxes & fuses, switches, buttons, dimmers, voltage converters, VSR’s, USB chargers, isolators, wire, etc.

PLUMBING & WATER TANKS

Yeep we do that too!

Often we are fabricating customized steel frames to support water tanks underneath vehicles, that’s always fun. We stock & sell a large range of push-fit & Hansen plumbing fittings. We have taps, sinks and water pumps ready to use in our builds. We also have put together some plumbing kit sets to make it easy for people who want to build their own campervan but don’t want to spend too much time head scratching.

I contacted Dan to get a self contained certification (green sticker).
He was incredibly helpful, gave me all the information and guidance needed prior to me booking in with him to make sure my van was ready for assessment.
He was then helpful and flexible in getting an appointment that was convenient for me.

When I took my van for the assessment he was approachable and friendly, and reasonable with the assessment. There was a slight alteration that I needed to do to pass which he allowed me to do there and then in order to pass the assessment. This made things much easier for me.

Would highly recommend Dan and Zone2!!

The Cusp is a furniture design and build business that builds high-quality repeat pieces and more artistic one-offs as commissions. We have used Zone 2 exclusively for all of our CNC machining since its inception. Working with Dan at Zone 2 has been a pleasure - he has been able to refine his processes on our parts over time making them both better-finished parts and more cost effective - usually doing so in his own time and without prompting from The Cusp. Zone 2 has been able to suggest efficiency improvements to some of our work processes too. We have found Dan’s open-minded and collaborative approach to some of our more challenging builds really adds to the success of (and joy in!) our work. We can’t recommend Zone 2 highly enough – anyone we have sent their way has had the same excellent results and experience we have.

We have engaged Dan at Zone2 on several design projects over the past few years. His knowledge of design elements has been crucial in helping us with custom fabrication designs & projects for our engineering business and has enabled us to supply our customers with exactly what they require. Dan’s attention to detail is second to none, he’s very easy to deal with and goes the extra mile to ensure our projects are well designed and fit for purpose. Thanks Dan! DBE Ltd

Zone 2 was a very lucky find for me after a google search looking for someone to help with a new wood product lead me to Dan. He listened to my ideas and put up with the ever changing design until we reached the final prototype and finished product. His communication was refreshing, updates included photos and video of the work in progress which helped keep me informed as
I wasn't able to get to his workshop as often as I liked.
He truly has a passion for working with wood and a great head for design, tell him what you want and he will work out how to make it.
In short, the guy is a bloody legend!

What's is a CNC? I had no idea, until I met Dan. It was a world of complex design and programming that, honestly, I didn't feel I had time for. All I knew is that I had some designs in mind and wanted them off the computer and in my hands.

Dan was able to guide me through the process with patience and a keen eye for detail and sequence. I couldn't of been happier with the results! He managed to make my photography logo on beautiful wood and cut light painting brushes out of perspex. It's really cool to have the tangible product in your hand after watching Dan work his magic in the 3D computer world, twisting on axiis you probably haven't seen before.

Dan is easy going, open to input and feedback, professional, and innovative.

Thanks Dan for helping me turn my vision into a reality and I'll be back with more ideas. 100% Do Recommend
