DECALmachine is a blender addon, which through mesh Decals, allows for surface detailing in a very non-committal, non-destructive, UV-less way. And as such, it represents an alternative approach to hard surface texturing.

DECALmachine 2.0 works with Blender 2.83/2.90!

Decals can be projected, sliced, material matched, and of course easily created.
