Rhino · Grasshopper

Plugins for Rhino & Grasshopper.

Scientific tools for computational designers — machine learning, optimization, tensor fields and advanced meshing, packaged as plugins used by designers worldwide.

Grasshopper, the visual-programming environment for Rhino, is where a huge amount of computational design happens. Raphos builds plugins that put research-grade methods — machine learning, non-linear optimization, vector-field manipulation and C++-powered geometry — directly into the designer’s hands, with components that behave like native Grasshopper nodes.

Our plugins are distributed free on Food4Rhino and have been downloaded and used by designers, engineers and researchers around the world. They are built on optimized, battle-tested libraries and have featured in peer-reviewed research and academic workshops.
