PrintForge puts AI-powered 3D model creation in your hands. Describe any object in plain English or snap a photo, and PrintForge generates a print-ready 3D model in minutes — no CAD skills required. GENERATE 3D MODELS WITH AI • Text-to-3D: Type a description like "a low-poly medieval castle" and get a full 3D model. • Image-to-3D: Upload a photo or sketch and let AI turn it into a printable model. • Multi-provider AI: Powered by Meshy and Tripo3D for the best results across styles. • Quality control: Choose from Draft, Balanced, High, or Ultra quality presets. • Style options: Realistic, Stylized, Low-Poly, Anime, Voxel, and Sculpture modes. ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY • Nested folders with color labels to keep projects tidy. • Tags and multi-tag filtering across your entire model gallery. • Tile or list view with search and status filters. • Drag-and-drop bulk folder upload — preserves your directory structure. ITERATE & REFINE • Refine any model with text feedback — "make the wings larger" — and AI regenerates it. • Full version history for every model. Restore any previous version with one tap. • Auto-generated preview thumbnails for uploaded STL, GLB, and OBJ files. VIEW & EXPORT • Built-in 3D viewer with orbit, zoom, and pan — powered by Three.js and WebGL. • Export to GLB, STL, or OBJ for your slicer or 3D printer. • Works with all major 3D printing slicers: Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, and more. COLLABORATE & SHARE • Share folders with teammates via email — with view, edit, or admin permissions. • Generate secure share links (one-time use or expiring) for external collaborators. • Threaded comments on any model for design feedback. SMART AI ASSISTANT • Conversational sidebar agent understands plain English commands. • Generate, refine, rename, export, delete, or list models — just by asking. • "Export Dragon as STL", "Rename Castle to Fortress", "List my recent models". SECURE & PRIVATE • Email/password authentication with automatic token refresh. • Row-level security — your data is visible only to you and your collaborators. • Wipe all data or delete your account at any time from Settings. PrintForge is free to try. Start creating print-ready 3D models today — no design experience needed.
