Cell Forge

Cell Forge converts microscope photographs into interactive three-dimensional cell models. It addresses the challenge of moving from flat two-dimensional images or diagrams to manipulable representations that support study for standardized biology examinations including AP Bio, IB HL, MCAT, and USMLE.

Users upload a light- or electron-microscope image of a cell in PNG, JPG, or WebP format up to 8 MB. The system identifies the cell type and its structures through artificial intelligence and produces a matching interactive three-dimensional model in under a minute. The resulting model supports dragging to orbit, scrolling to zoom, annotation, embedding in slides, and publishing to a community library. A free account provides one generation per month while a paid plan supplies additional capacity.

The service includes a built-in library of thirty standard cells. Each entry supplies a three-dimensional model together with a written guide covering structure, function, and examination tips. Community-generated models created by other students are also available for browsing.

Cell Forge is delivered as a web application. It is aimed at students preparing for the listed examinations as well as at teachers who may embed or share the models. The tool belongs to the class of AI-assisted biology education resources that generate three-dimensional visualizations directly from photographic input.
