As answered by people managing ShellNewHandler and Lescut.
Lescut's answer:
*Cloud-based nesting: Access nesting capabilities without relying on a traditional, locally installed application. No big upfront license payments, pay for what you use. No hardware to purchase/manage either, everything runs in the cloud and scales as you need.
*API integration: Integrate nesting directly into existing manufacturing software, applications, and production workflows.
*Automation-ready: Enable AI agents and other automated systems to submit nesting jobs, interact with the platform, and carry out nesting workflows programmatically.
Lescut's answer:
Similar or better nesting results, much less expensive to use, only pay for what you use, can run multiple orders/jobs at the same time.
Lescut's answer:
Manufacturers that build products out of any material and have a big enough volume that can benefit from layout optimization, or hardware and software manufacturers that need a professional nesting engine to integrate into their own software suite.
Lescut's answer:
After more than 20 years building apparel and leather products, including hands-on experience with automatic nesting systems, I wanted to explore a more accessible, modern approach to nesting—one that makes powerful optimization easier to integrate into everyday manufacturing workflows.

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
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
