Precision hardware, robotics, and automation
Old World Labs
Old World Labs is the core hardware/software platform: ultra-precise additive manufacturing, robotics and automation, lab workflows, simulation, and applied AI systems.
Projects and systems
Nick Liverman's work spans precision hardware, robotics, custom agents, and source-backed research.
The portfolio is organized around the work that should define the site in 2026: Old World Labs, custom agent and automation solutions, precision manufacturing research, and hardware/software expertise. Legacy examples that are not core to this positioning have been removed from the site.
Agent-driven development services
Custom AI Agents and Automation
Custom agents can turn repeated expert workflows into inspectable systems: planning, tool calls, execution, validation, logs, and iteration across software, operations, and production tools.
SPIE research and mass-production methods
3D Micro-Mirror Lithography
SPIE Novel Patterning Technologies 2018 listed 3D micro-mirror lithography for mass production as an invited paper tied to Old World Labs precision-manufacturing research.
Precision manufacturing research
Biomedical Microfluidics
Public VA coverage documented work with Old World Labs technology on 3D-printed artificial-lung scaffolds and microfluidic structures for respiratory research.
Agent Strategy
Define where agents can safely act, what tools they can use, and how outputs are verified.
Production Automation
Turn repeated technical work into inspectable workflows with logs, tests, and controlled execution.
Hardware/Software Integration
Connect robotics, simulation, manufacturing tools, and software systems into one practical stack.
