Morphé - Advanced implicit & voxel-based modelling into grasshopper

Metamorphic AM has launched Morphé, a new Rhino 8 plugin bringing implicit modelling, voxel processing and vector-field tools directly into Grasshopper, allowing engineers to create and rework complex geometry without breaking the parametric workflow.

Morphé addresses a growing Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) challenge. Conventional CAD excels at traditional geometry but can struggle with complex lattices, merged channels, graded structures, conformal forms and designs driven by simulation data. Specialist tools can handle such geometry, but moving downstream often breaks the connection between the final shape and the engineering logic that generated it.

Morphé keeps that connection intact.

Its implicit engine enables robust unions, intersections, shells, offsets, blends and complex custom lattices. Its voxel capability supports smoothing, filleting, repair and reworking of meshes and scan data into watertight solids. Vector fields allow stress, temperature, pressure, flow and other measured or simulated information to influence geometry directly.

All three capabilities interoperate within one Grasshopper graph, supported by live GPU preview, sectional viewing and regional cropping.

Laurence Coles, Metamorphic Co-founder and Mechanical Design Lead, says: “The answer is not another environment in which to finish geometry. It is putting robust modelling capability where the engineering logic already lives.”

Morphé grew from Metamorphic’s own technically demanding work in quantum sensing, bioprocessing and optomechanical systems. As Co-founder and Computational Design Lead Manolis Papastavrou explains: “Morphé grew from real projects rather than a feature checklist.”
