The brief

iDeas Design was approached by the automotive department at the Norfolk Constabulary HQ to design a smaller and more cost-effective solution to the current range of window-mounted light pods for their fleet of vehicles. The current versions are vacuum formed and require additional drilling and cutting to fit the lights, adding extra time and cost. They are also quite large and bulky, taking up more space on the windows.

We designed a lower-cost, 3D-printed version that we can manufacture in-house and have received our first order for production parts. Our robust designs can easily be modified to suit the various angles of windscreens and side windows, offering a custom product without the additional cost.
