Implicit and voxel-based modelling that stays parametric.
Morphé brings implicit and voxel-based modelling into Grasshopper, so the hardest shapes to model live in the same file as the logic, the data and the geometry that generate them: complex manifolds, graded structures, lattices and geometry aligned to real field data.
An engineering tool before it became a product.
Developed by Metamorphic AM to deliver real technical work across emerging technology sectors, quantum sensing, nuclear fusion and bioprocessing among them. Shaped by technically demanding projects, Morphé was an engineering tool before it was a product.
Advanced manufacturing demands geometry that conventional CAD struggles to create reliably.
The tools that offer it are typically finishing environments: excellent at operating on geometry that already exists, and downstream of where it is designed.

Morphé changes that.
It puts implicit modelling inside Grasshopper, where geometry is generated in the first place, and pairs it with a voxel engine for smoothing, repairing and absorbing measured data. A live GPU preview shows the result as you drag the slider, not after meshing.
Three interoperable capabilities. Move freely between them.
Implicit shapes are exact and infinitely detailed. Voxels can be reworked and absorb real-world data. Vector fields describe direction and flow; converting between them is a single component in either direction.
Implicit modelling
An implicit shape is a mathematical function over space, and its surface is where that function equals zero: computed rather than drawn, and exact at any resolution. Combining shapes cannot fail: twenty operations deep is as reliable as one.
Voxel modelling
A voxel is the 3D counterpart of a pixel: a value stored on a regular grid in space. Where an implicit shape is an exact formula, a voxel model is a sampled record, so it can hold what no formula describes and can be retouched freely using filters and masks after it is built.
Vector fields
Turn directional data into a design input. Build a field from sampled point-vectors, such as CFD or test results, or from the gradient of any shape. Advection allows you to move and deform a geometry along a vector field, carried along the flow it describes.
Custom lattices, no presets.
Morphé doesn’t hand you a cell catalogue; it hands you the machinery for building your own. Author a unit cell from your own curves, surfaces or formulas, and vary any of its parameters across the part.
Struts and spheres
Turn any line network or point cloud into a solid lattice, with radii uniform, tapered, or set per strut or per node.Instance
Repeat any shape across a set of positions and orientations.Fill boxes
Morph a unit cell through twisted boxes, so cells follow a load path or curved region instead of a rigid grid.Conform to a surface
Wrap a pattern or lattice onto a freeform surface, or fill the gap between two surfaces.Other tools operate on imported geometry. Morphé sits where geometry is generated.
Because Morphé operates within Grasshopper, geometry stays connected to the design logic, input data, as well as your simulation and analysis workflows. That means:
- No export, no round trip, no broken parametric chain
- No second seat of software
- No new interface to learn: Morphé sits in the Rhino ribbon, takes Rhino geometry in and hands Rhino geometry back
- A live GPU preview: drag a slider and the shape moves with it; cut a section or crop to see inside
- Anything you can measure or simulate (stress, temperature, pressure, density, a scan) can drive wall thickness, cell size or blend radius
For designers and engineers whose geometric ambition has outgrown conventional CAD.
Advanced manufacturing
Teams whose designs have more geometric ambition than their CAD can express, where geometry must respond to complex functional and manufacturing requirements.Emerging technology hardware
The sectors Morphé grew up in: complex scientific hardware with novel functions, where shapes are engineered from requirements and data.Medical devices and implants
Porous structures for osseointegration, parts that conform to anatomy with graded thickness, and working directly from scan data.Aerospace and motorsport
Heat exchangers, flow handling and mass reduction, where geometry has to address thermal, structural and flow performance, all at once.Consumer products and footwear
Variable-density midsoles, texture and pattern that conforms to freeform surfaces designed by hand.Computational designers and researchers
Serious implicit and voxel-based modelling without an enterprise-priced package, inside the environment you already know.Artists, sculptors and jewellery designers
Complex organic shapes explored live and exported as clean, watertight meshes ready for fabrication at any size.Morphé is equally relevant to experienced computational designers seeking wider capability within Grasshopper; instead of moving into a separate enterprise platform to access advanced implicit and voxel modelling, it brings those capabilities into an environment they already understand.
