Loominus Studio
The brain
Software where people and AI assistants work side by side. It plugs into the lab's machines, so an AI assistant can actually run an experiment instead of only talking about one.
Building BLI
Smart machines that make products just for you.
Many of the things that touch your body every day, like shoes, mattresses, skin creams, bandages and medical implants, are made in big factories far away. They come in a few standard sizes. And the recipes behind them are often known by only a handful of experts.
We have the conviction that this is about to change. BLI builds the software and robots, cyber-physical AI agents, that let these products be designed, made and improved automatically, and made customized to each person.
Under two minutes on where we're headed and how we plan to get there. Press play, or drag the bar to jump to any scene.
The problem
Labs got robots. Materials got left out.
Over the last twenty years, labs automated the easy jobs. Robots now move tiny drops of liquid from tube to tube all day long, and they never get tired.
Many of the products we care about are harder than that. Creams and gels are thick and sticky. Shoe soles, wound dressings and implants are built from fine fibers stacked in careful patterns. Ordinary lab robots can't handle either kind.
The most ambitious products combine the two. Think of a soft gel or a fiber scaffold that carries living cells, and those cells keep making medicine inside the patient's body. That is where cell and gene therapies are heading, and it is the hardest kind of product to develop through manual trial and error.
So these products are still developed the way Thomas Edison found his light bulb: through manual trial and error, testing one idea after another until something works. A scientist tries a recipe, waits, checks the result and tries again. The best recipes live in notebooks and in people's heads, and when those people leave, the know-how often leaves with them.
Why AI alone isn't enough
A chatbot can suggest a recipe. It can't mix it, print it or measure it. To do real work, AI has to be connected to a lab's machines, its data and its safety rules. Building that connection is our job.
What we build
Three parts that work as one.
Together they run the whole cycle of developing a product on their own: design a sample, make it, test it, learn from the result, then try again.
MetaLab
The mixing lab
A robotic lab for creams, gels and other thick liquids. It mixes, measures and picks what to try next, without waiting for a person.
BioLoom
The printer
A robotic printer for products made of fine fibers, like dressings, filters and supports for growing tissue. It makes the same thing the same way, every time.
What used to take months of trial and error can take days. And since the system runs itself, making a slightly different version for each person costs very little extra.
Where we're headed
Send the design. Make the product nearby.
Today a product is made in one place and shipped around the world. We believe that by 2035, many products will be made close to the people who use them, in small automated workshops that all share what they learn.

More people get care
Advanced treatments could be made in any hospital, not only in a few specialized plants.
Faster
Hours from order to product, instead of weeks on ships and trucks.
Less waste
Make only what people need. No piles of unsold stock and far less shipping.
Harder to break
Local production keeps going when borders close or supply chains fail.
Step by step
We start simple and work up to the hardest products.
The same system works at every step. Each step up is more personal, more closely regulated and closer to the patient.

What we believe
Seven things we stick to
- Making matters more than discovering.
- A great lab result is worth little if you can't make it reliably. We focus on the making.
- The design carries its own instructions.
- Every design file also says how to make it, so nothing gets lost when work moves between teams.
- Every product can be personal.
- A new version is a new file, not a new factory.
- Experience can't be downloaded.
- Our system gets smarter by running real experiments, and each run teaches the next one.
- Customers own their data.
- What a customer's system learns stays with that customer.
- Software and hardware, built together.
- AI that can't touch the real world only does half the job.
- Build where the talent is.
- Our engineers and hardware team work in Greece. Our sales team works where our customers are, in the US and Europe.
Our mission
To make advanced materials as easy to develop, make and personalize as software, and to make them close to the people who need them.
Work with us
Want to build this with us?
Our name, Biological Lattice Industries, comes from the lattice: a structure where every point is tied to the ones around it, which makes the whole thing strong. That is how we want to work with partners.
If you make products for the body, for health or from biology, and you are tired of slow trial and error, we would like to hear from you.
