I desperately need help finding a really hard resin for the form 2 printer. The best thing would be if it would be mixed with ceramics. it should have a Young’s modulus of 10 GPa and a shore d hardness of 90. Does anyone have an idea which material would work? ---

We don’t have any materials that quite hit 10GPa. [There are a few suggestions in this thread](http://forum.formlabs.com/t/searching-for-a-resin-with-a-very-high-youngs-modulus/15771) that you might find useful. ---

ALW Black is hard. I’ve used it that’s how I know. ---

Where can I find information about ALW black? Is there a technical data sheet i can find? ---

90D isn’t particularly hard. I would guess the standard resins are about that. Nylon is around 80D and I am pretty sure the standard resins are harder than nylon. A stiffness of 10 GPa is a whole different story though. Metal plating is your best immediate option. ---
