"Until one is committed there is the chance for hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness....     
.....Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace, and power in it."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

See what we did for ourselves, imagine what we can do for you.


You identify a product need and bring your idea to us. In our example, we saw boxes of unsold non-disc wheel hubs at local dealers and identified a need for a product that could help the dealers move the stock AND save customers money. First Principles will prepare complete engineering concept sketches to demonstrate the product design and intent. We can even investigate patents and help you to protect your idea. First Principles uses the latest in Solid 3D CAD modelling software in our designs, compatible with all NC manufacturing processes. Fully detailed engineering drawings are provided to ensure accuracy and repeatability. First Principles uses a wide network of approved sub-contractors to prototype the design. No matter what the manufacturing method, chances are that we know someone who can get it done. We assemble and test all prototypes in our own facility in North Vancouver. First Principles has the necessary experience in high volume manufacturing techniques, and the network of suppliers available to source your volume production needs. Our project managers can help you to satisfy your market demands on time, and on budget. First Principles can even help you to package and market your product, delivering a finished product ready for the store shelf. In our example, we delivered a fully designed, researched, tested, and packaged product to the dealer shelves in less than 6 months. First Principles has the expertise to help research your market and prepare your business plan, so you will know the real value of your idea.
