VeroBlackPlus vs VisiJet M2 ENT
Polymer · grade comparison
VeroBlackPlus and VisiJet M2 ENT are both polymer grades. VeroBlackPlus is the stronger of the two: yield strength 50 MPa (7.25 ksi) against 36 MPa (5.22 ksi) for VisiJet M2 ENT, about 39% more; tensile strength follows at 55 MPa (7.98 ksi) vs 42 MPa (6.09 ksi). VeroBlackPlus is the more ductile: elongation 17% versus 10% for VisiJet M2 ENT. VeroBlackPlus is stiffer (2.5 GPa vs 1.5 GPa) and VeroBlackPlus runs hotter in service (45°C vs 40°C continuous). On the shop floor, VeroBlackPlus welds better (10 vs 0 out of 100).
VeroBlackPlusChoose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
VeroBlackPlus vs VisiJet M2 ENT: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all polymer grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

VeroBlackPlus vs VisiJet M2 ENT — frequently asked
Is VeroBlackPlus stronger than VisiJet M2 ENT?
Yes. VeroBlackPlus has a typical yield strength of 50 MPa (7.25 ksi) against 36 MPa (5.22 ksi) for VisiJet M2 ENT — about 39% more. Tensile strength is 55 MPa (7.98 ksi) vs 42 MPa (6.09 ksi).
Which is cheaper, VeroBlackPlus or VisiJet M2 ENT?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which is easier to machine, VeroBlackPlus or VisiJet M2 ENT?
VeroBlackPlus. Its machinability rates good (55/100) against fair (50/100) for VisiJet M2 ENT; for welding the order is VeroBlackPlus first (not recommended, 10/100) then VisiJet M2 ENT (not recommended, 0/100).
