The Question Every Lab Asks

Every time the pin doesn't return to zero — you ask yourself…

Is it the scan?
Is it the print?
Is it the resin?
Is it the articulator?
No. It's not you.
The problem has a name.
Transfer Drift

The invisible error every plaster-free system on the market introduces between your CAD design and your articulator verification. Bulky bases. Forced 45° printing. No calibration. You eliminated plaster — but replaced it with a new source of imprecision.

Failure Mode 01

Bulky Bases

Oversized bases shift your reference point — and on full-arch implant cases, they physically intersect with your analogs.

Failure Mode 02

Forced 45° Printing

Geometry that demands tilted prints. Longer time. Worse tooth quality. A new variable you can't control.

Failure Mode 03

No Calibration

Every articulator has its own error. Plaster-free systems assume yours is perfect. It almost never is.

Failure Mode 04

Closed Systems

Locked to one articulator brand. Switch unit? Start over. Your investment doesn't travel with you.

That's why it's repeatable.

Each pillar exists because a single failure mode forced it into being. Together they lock — remove one, the system fails.

Patent Pending

ShieldBase™ Geometry

Print-optimized seating with a protected reference zone. Designed around how 3D printers actually work — flat orientation, no forced 45°. No other system on the market has this.

Patent Pending

DockingMatrix™

8 magnets. 4 per model. 9 configurations. The user never has to think about polarity — GlueJet™ guarantees correct orientation. Avoids analog interference on full-arch implant cases.

Patent Pending

TrueZero™ Calibration

Calibrate with your own printer, your own resin, your own articulator. Your tolerance becomes part of the system instead of fighting against it. Every articulator's error — eliminated.

CAD Integration

Dedicated CAD Libraries

Native libraries for Exocad, 3Shape, Blender for Dental, and 3Diemme. Choose your magnet config in CAD. Export and print flat. Lifetime portal access via DACademy after purchase.

The Origin Story

How DACOS was born.

78 seconds. The calibrator that broke everything — and the protocol that came from fixing it.

"I was getting 3 millimeters of deviation on the incisal pin. The manufacturer told me: 'That's our tolerance. We can't do better.' So I did the opposite — I took the calibrator out of the kit."

From Frustration to Protocol

Four discoveries. Four pillars. One system.

EPIPHANY 01

I started where you are

Like every plaster-free system. A base. A plate. A disconnect mechanism. Standard approach.

→ Context
EPIPHANY 02

Giovanni's question

"How are you going to print this?" I hadn't thought about it. Models should print flat — not at 45°.

→ ShieldBase™
EPIPHANY 03

My wife's input

The user shouldn't have to think. One observation. I built the tool. Magnets in the right position. Every time.

→ DockingMatrix™ + GlueJet™
EPIPHANY 04

The calibrator breakthrough

Three millimeters of deviation. So I did the opposite — took the calibrator out of the kit, gave you the STL.

→ TrueZero™
The Process

Three steps. Five minutes. Zero drift.

Swipe or click to explore each step. Auto-advances every 6 seconds.

Step 1: Calibrate the system once
01
Calibrate Once
Print the TrueZero™ Calibrator with your own printer and resin. Mount DACOS plates on your articulator. One-time setup — 15 minutes, lasts forever.
Step 2: Design in CAD
02
Design in Your CAD
Use the DACOS library in Exocad, 3Shape, or Blender for Dental. Choose your DockingMatrix™ magnet configuration. Export and print flat — no forced 45°.
Step 3: Snap, mount and verify
03
Snap, Mount & Verify
Insert magnets with GlueJet. Place the model on the articulator — magnets snap in. Verify contacts match CAD. Done in 5 minutes. ±0.02 mm every time.
Same process on Bio Art articulator — universal compatibility
04
Same Process. Every Articulator.
Direct-fit for Artex, SAM, ASA. Flex bonds once with plaster on every other brand — Bio Art, Stratos, Hanau, KaVo, Whip Mix, Gamma, Panadent. After setup, the workflow is identical. ±0.02 mm on any articulator you own.
The bill nobody hands you

Stone doesn't cost what you think. It costs you every month, quietly.

Every model you mount in stone pays twice: in bench minutes you never bill, and in remakes from transfer drift that never had to happen. Move the sliders with your real numbers — every assumption is conservative and editable.

Models you mount per month80 models/mo

The number that varies most between labs — use your real one.

Minutes per mount today, with stone10 min

Hands-on time only. Stone set time runs by itself while you work another case — so we don't count it as paid hours.

With DACOS: 5 min/case · calibrate once (15 min) and transfer drift is gone (ZeroDrift™)
What your bench hour costs you25 $/h

Loaded cost per productive hour (wage + overhead) — what it costs you, not what you bill.

Full-arch / All-on-X cases per month3 arches/mo

We count only the share of remakes occlusion genuinely explains (~35%) — not one more. This is where the TrueZero™ Calibrator's ±0.02 mm stops being a spec-sheet number.

Bench time recovered
$167/mo
6.7 h/mo freed · hands, not set time
Occlusion remakes avoided
$121/mo
≈ 0.3 remakes/mo · C&B only
What you recover every month with DACOS
$288/mo
$3,453 a year that leaves the lab today without showing up on any invoice
The entry kit (≈ $197) pays for itself on the first case you don't remake. With your numbers, you recover it in under a month on bench time and crown remakes alone — before counting a single full arch.
We don't inflate the remake number. DACOS doesn't fix marginal fit or esthetics — only occlusal drift. So we count only the share of remakes attributable to occlusion: ~9% on crown & bridge, ~35% on full-arch. On crowns that number is small, and we keep it small. The real money is in full-arch.
Build your kit — I start recovering this from month one

The calculator answers “is it worth it?”. The configurator answers “which one?”.

DACOS mount 5 min · crown remake 4% × occlusion 9% × $420 · full-arch rework 8% × occlusion 35%, cost anchored to this page's own band ($300–$1,000). Rates from published data (National Dental PBRN 3.8%, Spear ~4%); defaults sit at the floor of their band. Change them to yours — the math is yours, not ours.

Pick the option that best describes your current workflow.

Printable articulator system
xSnap, iTero-style — fine for small cases, unstable on full-arch
Magnetic plaster-free system
Print&Click, Rotoclick, Evo — but contacts don't always match CAD
I print models, then plaster them
Digital print, analog mount — slow, messy, inconsistent
Fully digital — I don't mount
CAD verification only
No 3D printer yet
Still on traditional impressions

Quick question about full-rehab cases…

When you take on full-arch or complex implant work — do you ever need to verify occlusion on a physical articulator?

Yes — I use plaster when I have to
I mount with plaster for cases needing physical verification
Yes — but I want a better way
I know I should verify physically — plaster is a pain
No — 100% digital verification
I never use a physical articulator
🖨️

First, you'll need a 3D printer

DACOS is built around 3D-printed bases, magnet geometry, and the TrueZero™ Calibrator. The good news: any decent SLA/DLP resin printer works — and you don't need a $20K industrial unit.

Affordable starter printers labs we work with use:
LB9K Dental Makers€3,800 · DACOS-validated · best-fit pick
Sprintray Pro 95s~$5,000 · pro-grade workflow
Phrozen Sonic Mighty 14K~$1,200 · high-detail, prosumer
Anycubic Photon M5s~$700 · entry-level, surprisingly good

Already shopping for a printer? Tell us — we'll send a calibration test STL so you can verify accuracy before you buy.

You're fully digital — respect

If your workflow never requires physical articulation, you might not need DACOS right now.

But keep us in mind — the day a complex full-arch case needs a physical check, DACOS gives you verified precision mounting in 5 minutes, no plaster required.

      Patent-pending engineering

      Four mechanisms — ShieldBase™, DockingMatrix™, TrueZero™, and the GlueJet™ tooling — all protected by pending patents. Real engineering, not marketing language.

      Common Questions

      Everything you need to know.

      Yes. DACOS is built around 3D-printed models — the bases, the magnet geometry, and the TrueZero™ Calibrator are all printed by you. That's actually the point: your printer's tolerance becomes part of the system instead of fighting against it. Resin SLA/DLP printers (any major brand: Sprintray, Phrozen, Anycubic, Formlabs, etc.) all work.
      Almost certainly yes. Direct-fit plates exist for Artex, SAM, and ASA Dental — these clip directly onto your articulator. For everything else (Bio Art, Stratos, Hanau, KaVo, Whip Mix, Denar, Panadent, etc.) the Flex plate bonds once with plaster and then runs 100% magnetically. Same ±0.02 mm precision either way. Use the configurator to confirm.
      Initial calibration: 15 minutes, one time. You print the TrueZero™ Calibrator on your own printer with your normal resin, mount the DACOS plates on your articulator, done. Daily workflow: ~5 minutes per case. Print model with DACOS library geometry → insert magnets via GlueJet → snap onto plates → verify. That's it.
      Four patent-pending mechanisms working together: ShieldBase™ geometry (designed for flat printing, not forced 45°), DockingMatrix™ (9 magnet configurations to avoid implant analog interference), TrueZero™ Calibration (your printer's tolerance becomes part of the system), dedicated CAD libraries (native to Exocad, 3Shape, Blender for Dental). Other systems do one of these. DACOS does all four — and they only work because they lock together.
      No — and this is one of the reasons DockingMatrix™ exists. The system uses 8 magnets total (4 per model) across 9 configurations. On full-arch implant cases, you select the configuration that places magnets away from your analog positions. Other plaster-free systems have fixed magnet locations that physically intersect with analogs. DACOS doesn't.
      Satisfied or refunded. The guarantee is anchored to system accuracy: if after calibration the TrueZero™ pin doesn't return to zero, you get a full refund of the kit. We'll check together that the workflow was followed correctly, and if the system can't reach spec on your setup, you get the full refund.
      Light (35mm): standard cases — crowns, bridges, veneers, partials. Compact bases, less resin, faster prints. Ultra (55mm): implant work — full clearance for analogs, full-arch, All-on-X. Duo: both sizes in one kit — best for labs that mix both case types. The configurator above picks the right one for your case mix in 60 seconds.
      Free worldwide shipping included. Shipped from Italy with tracking. Typical delivery: 5–10 business days to North America, EU, and UK; 7–14 days to LATAM, APAC, and Middle East. Customs duties (where applicable) are the buyer's responsibility per destination country regulations — there's no marked-up handling fee from us.
      Picture It

      The lab that doesn't send cases back.

      Your full-arch lands first try. The dentist calls — not to complain, to compliment: "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." You stop losing Saturday nights to remakes. You become the lab the difficult cases come to — not because you're cheaper, because you're predictable. That's what ±0.02 mm verified repeatability actually buys.
