Slice-It Bend-It earns its place in the Superhive library for a focused take on mesh slicing and bending, driven by WYSIWYG controls and multi-axis support.
Slice-It Bend-It is a Blender addon for slicing and bending meshes through simple WYSIWYG controls. It slices meshes in even increments along any X, Y, or Z direction instantly, and the developer describes it as a good fit for bending unusual meshes such as text or complex objects. The addon lives in the Tools N panel in the 3D viewport.
Version 1.1.2 adds multi-axis slicing in both object and local mode, and the addon now includes a new SLICE modifier. Documentation is provided, and a demo video is available.
Slice-It Bend-It was created by Anthony Aragues and Chipp Walters and is distributed under the GPL license. It supports Blender 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, and 3.4, covering a wide span of recent and older releases. In this catalog it is listed as free.
Slice-It Bend-It is best for blender users who need to slice meshes in even increments or bend objects like text and complex shapes.
Slice-It Bend-It is completely free to download and use.
Slice-It Bend-It supports Blender 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, and 3.4, so it works with Blender 4.3 alongside a range of earlier releases. That span covers both current versions and older builds going back to the 3.4 series, which gives you flexibility if your projects are pinned to a particular Blender version. For the most current compatibility details, check the developer's page, since supported versions can change with future updates to the addon.
Slice-It Bend-It is located in the Tools N panel in the 3D viewport, so once the addon is enabled you access its controls there. The developer notes it is easy to use, and the interface relies on simple WYSIWYG controls for slicing and bending meshes. Documentation is included with the addon if you want a reference while working, and a demo video is also available on the developer's page for a closer look at how it operates.
Slice-It Bend-It is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license.

Slice-It Bend-It version 1.1.2 adds multi-axis slicing, which works in both object and local mode. The addon also now includes a new SLICE modifier. These recent updates build on the addon's core ability to slice meshes in even increments along any X, Y, or Z direction. A demo video is available if you want to look at the newer features, and documentation ships with the addon as a reference while you work.
