Further it can be selected whether only an "estimation", an "optimization" or a "manufacture" up to the printable design should take place. In most cases, an "estimation" only takes a few minutes and gives an overview of the weight and stress development that an optimization can achieve under the given boundary conditions. The “estimatation” does not provide a finished design, but only gives you an idea of the development and the possibilities for the optimization. The "optimization" can take up to a few hours, depending on the conditions, and provides a detailed/high resolution design proposal. The "Manufacture" option takes the longest time, because here the resolution at the end of the optimization is significantly increased in order to obtain a good printable surface and structure of the component in detail.

An example of the different settings is shown in the following pictures.
