ABOUT DACOS®
Welcome to DACOS® (Digital Antonello Croce Occlusal System). Developed in collaboration with Blenderfordental® and Ruthinium. Conceived by our Antonello Croce, this project combines the expertise of leading companies in digital dentistry to bring you a truly innovative solution. The DACOS® System is a patent-pendind system designed to facilitate the seamless transfer of 3D-printed models and dentures into traditional articulators with the use of magnets. It provides a unique solution in the digital dentistry workflow, especially for denture applications, where there are no alternatives methods to place back the prosthesis in the traditional articulator for occlusal checking. It is compatible with all types of articulators.

How Does It Work?
HOW
The use of DACOS® is based on the innovative use of the DACOS module and the DACOS® Plate. This system allows the generation of a 3D-printed model with specific attachments. Magnets are inserted into these attachments, allowing the model to easily and securely attach to the articulator. The DACOS® Plate is designed to perfectly reflect the geometry and coordinates specified in the DACOS® module, ensuring that the printed model aligns correctly within the articulator. This technology guarantees unparalleled precision in model repositioning, faithfully reflecting the original digital design while maintaining the spatial accuracy required for high-quality dental checks.

3.
Start Designing
Convert your existing models (from software like Exocad or 3Shape) into DACOS®-ready models using the DACOS® Module in Blenderfordental®. Simply position your models in the occlusal plane, click “Finish Upper” or “Finish Lower,” and export them. Then, print your models and place the magnets into the attachments using the GlueJet Tool. Your models are now ready for articulation with the DACOS® System, giving you unparalleled precision and ease of use!

Some questions to answer.
Can I nesting the models with supports underneath it when using DACOS®?
Yes, and we even recommend it! The DACOS system is meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with 3D printing supports.
The inside of the attachments is deliberately free of supports in critical areas and has horizontal extensions that are reduced below the deformation threshold.
DACOS recommends placing supports under the model to guarantee the accuracy and stability of the printing process.
If I apply too much adhesive, won't it affect the final Z position?
No need to worry! We've already thought of everything. Simply use the GlueJet included in the kit to glue the magnet in place.
The part that makes contact with the articulator is not the magnet itself but a specially designed surface that avoids any undesired variation in the vertical position.
Do my articulators need to be calibrated?
With DACOS, calibrating your articulators is no longer a concern. Thanks to the integrated auto-calibration system, DACOS adapts to the specific settings of your articulator the first time you install it.
Can I use DACOS® with Exocad, 3Shape and others CAD?
Absolutely, DACOS is fully compatible with models designed with other CAD software!
Simply export the models generated in Exocad or 3Shape while maintaining the original spatial coordinates. Then, import these models into the DACOS module, and with a simple click, the models will be ready to be re-exported and printed.
DACOS seamlessly integrates with existing workflows, making the process smooth and uninterrupted.
What if the model doesn't fit or is too tight?
If you're encountering OFFSET issues or if your printer may be overexposing, DACOS has the solution! We offer three different types of attachments: Tight, Standard, and Loose.
Depending on your printer’s specific settings, you can select the attachment that best suits your needs, ensuring a perfect fit for your model.
