From a flat photo to a model you can turn around
No modelling software and no waiting — upload an image and get an interactive 3D cell in three steps.
- 1
Upload a microscope photo
Any light- or electron-microscope image of a cell — a textbook figure or your own slide.
- 2
AI identifies the cell
It recognises the cell type and its structures, then builds the matching 3D model in under a minute.
- 3
Explore and share in 3D
Rotate, zoom, annotate, and embed it in slides — or publish it to the community.
From the community
Real 3D cells generated by students like you.
Explore the cell library
30 cells, each with a 3D model and a written guide — structure, function, and exam tips for AP Bio, IB HL, MCAT, and USMLE.
Who it’s for
Students
Turn the flat diagrams in your textbook into something you can rotate and actually understand — then test yourself before the exam.
Teachers
Generate a model from the figure you already teach with, then embed it in your slides or LMS with one snippet.
Curious self-learners
Bring your own microscope photos to life, save them to your library, and share them with the community.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cell Forge turn a 2D photo into a 3D model?
You upload a microscope image; the AI recognises the cell type and its visible structures, then generates an interactive 3D model you can rotate, zoom, and label. It usually takes under a minute.
What kind of images work best?
A clear light- or electron-microscope image where the cell fills most of the frame works best — a textbook figure, a lab slide photo, or a stained section. Blurry or very crowded fields give weaker results.
Which cells and courses are supported?
Thirty cell types — organelles, blood cells, neurons, muscle, epithelial, and more — each mapped to AP Bio, IB HL, A-Level, MCAT, and USMLE topics, with a written guide on every cell page.
Is the 3D model scientifically accurate?
The model is a curriculum-accurate illustration of that cell type — the right structures in realistic proportions — rather than a literal reconstruction of the exact specimen in your photo. Think of it as a teaching figure you can hold and turn.
Can I use it for teaching or put it in my slides?
Yes. Every model has an embed snippet, so you can drop a live, rotatable cell into your slides, website, or LMS. Classroom use is encouraged.
Is it free?
You get one free generation a month on a free account. Pro and Studio plans raise that limit, and credit packs cover one-off bursts. Browsing the cell library and the community gallery is always free.
