Grasshopper | Automotive Essentials

Get started with parametric design in Grasshopper, building flexible geometry logic that speeds up iteration and supports automotive design exploration.

Course Goals

This 5-day introductory course equips Designers with the foundational skills to use Grasshopper as a parametric modelling tool for automotive design. From basic node logic to advanced attractors and pattern manipulation, the course empowers designers and modellers to work procedurally, unlocking faster iteration, reusability, and creative control in 3D design.

By the end, your team will be able to build dynamic, data-driven structures such as textured grills and skins with full control over geometry and logic.

Key outcomes

• Navigate and apply essential Rhino and Grasshopper functions
• Understand visual scripting and node-based logic
• Create and iterate 2D and 3D parametric models
• Apply attractor logic and data transformations
• Build and export complex patterns on surfaces or geometry
