3D Micro-Mirror Lithography for Mass Production

Nick Liverman's research profile should include more than the artificial-lung work. SPIE Novel Patterning Technologies 2018 also documents Old World Labs work in digital micro-mirror lithography.

Why This Source Matters

The SPIE proceedings table of contents for Novel Patterning Technologies 2018 lists 3D micro-mirror lithography for mass production as invited paper 10584-32. A public bibliographic entry also lists the paper as appearing in Proceedings of SPIE volume 10584.

This is a better research anchor than relying only on biomedical coverage because it places Nick Liverman and Old World Labs inside a formal optics and patterning context: lithography, micro-mirror control, high-precision fabrication, and production-oriented additive manufacturing.

Connection to Old World Labs

Old World Labs' source trail already includes stereolithography patents, OWL Nano and MC-series printer coverage, and biomedical microfluidic work. The SPIE entry strengthens that chain by connecting the same precision-manufacturing story to lithography and mass-production methods.

How It Supports Current Positioning

The site should emphasize a systems profile: software, optics, robotics, control loops, manufacturing, and agent-driven automation. The SPIE source helps make that profile credible because it points to research-facing engineering rather than generic AI claims.
