Fictiv VS ShellNewHandler

• Fast turnaround
  Fictiv offers rapid manufacturing services with quick lead times, often delivering CNC machined, 3D printed, and injection molded parts in a matter of days, which is ideal for prototyping and accelerating product development cycles.
• Wide range of manufacturing services
  The platform supports multiple manufacturing processes including CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, and urethane casting, allowing customers to source various types of parts from a single vendor.
• Instant online quoting
  Fictiv provides an easy-to-use digital platform where users can upload CAD files and receive instant quotes and design-for-manufacturability feedback, streamlining the ordering process.
• Global manufacturing network
  With a vetted network of manufacturing partners across regions, Fictiv can scale production and offer capacity flexibility, helping companies manage supply chain needs efficiently.
• Quality control and support
  Fictiv emphasizes quality assurance with inspection reports, dedicated support teams, and manufacturing expertise, giving customers confidence in the parts they receive.

Possible disadvantages

• Higher cost for some parts
  For certain low-complexity or high-volume parts, Fictiv's pricing can be more expensive compared to sourcing directly from local machine shops or overseas manufacturers.
• Less direct manufacturer contact
  Because Fictiv acts as an intermediary managing a network of suppliers, customers have less direct communication and control over the actual shop producing their parts.
• Variability in supplier quality
  Since production is distributed across a network of partners, quality and finish can vary between orders depending on which supplier fulfills the job.
• Minimums and volume limitations
  Some processes like injection molding may have minimum order requirements or become less cost-effective at very small quantities, which can be limiting for certain customers.
• Geographic and shipping considerations
  Depending on where parts are manufactured within the network, customers may face longer shipping times or additional logistics costs, particularly for international orders.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
