At sample quantities, you're looking at roughly $3,200 per unit, mid-tier orders of 5-10 units drop to about $2,800, and bulk buys of 20+ bring it to $2,400 or so — we usually have stock, but confirm lead time for larger runs.
It's basically the same hardware you'd find in a $6,000 scanner form a major brand, just without the markup, and the 8um accuracy holds up consistently across batches — we've run over 200 units through our own QC and the variation is within 2 microns.

The 12-second full arch scan is what most buyers go with for orthodontic workflows, but if you're scanning impression models, budget 2 minutes — it's not ideal for high-volume impression digitization, though it handles them fine for occasional use.

We've been shippng these to labs in Europe and Southeast Asia for about 18 months now, and the failure rate is under 0.5% — you'll get a COA with every unit, and the Exocad and 3Shape compatibilty means no software lock-in.

One thing a buyer might not think to ask: teh USB 3.0 cable is only 1.5 meters long, so position your workstation accordingly, and metal chassis does get warm after 30 minutes of continuous scanning — that's normal, not a defect.
0-40°C operating range is fine for most clinics, but if your lab runs hot in summer, keep it below 35°C to maintain that 8um spec — we've seen drift at 38°C ambient, though it recovers once cooled.
We typically start at 1 unit for the DCS-M1, so you can order just one to test it out. Larger orders get a volume discount.
Lead time is usually 15-20 working days from order confirmation, depending on stock. We'll confirm exact timing when you place the order.
Yes, we include the CE and FDA certificates with every DCS-M1 shipment. Just request them when you order, and we'll send the full documentation.
Absolutely, it handles both—full arch scans in 12 seconds, upper/lower jaw in 20 seconds, and impression models in about 2 minutes. The 3D scanning area is 100mm x 100mm x 75mm.
Yes, it works with both Exocad and 3Shape out of the box, outputting STL and PLY files via USB 3.0. No extra software needed.
