About Nick Liverman

A systems builder working across agents, robotics, simulation, and precision manufacturing.

Nick Liverman founded Old World Labs in 2012 and has worked across high-resolution additive manufacturing, robotics, microfluidic biomedical research, and AI agent systems. His current focus is more direct: using agent-driven development and automation to build useful systems faster, with source-backed engineering across software, robotics, and hardware.

Engineering Profile

The common pattern in Nick Liverman's work is the connection between software intelligence and operational systems. Old World Labs started with precision manufacturing and robotics; the more recent work extends that same engineering mindset into agents, automation, and simulation.

Old World Labs' public history includes ultra-precise 3D printing, stereolithography patent filings, and biomedical research coverage around microfluidic artificial-lung scaffolds. Those projects shaped a practical approach to engineering: control the toolchain, validate the output, and keep the system close to real-world constraints.

In 2026, the strongest positioning for this site is agent-driven development: custom AI agents, workflow automation, robotics and lab automation, technical pipeline design, and practical hardware/software integration. The goal is not generic AI content. It is building systems that do work.
