NiTi files from Zarc Endo for engine-driven root canal treatment: the rotary systems BlueShaper PRO, SlimShaper, SlimShaper PRO, ApicalShaper and NanoShaper, and the reciprocating Excalibur systems.
8 systems, two motion principles
Motor-driven NiTi files for shaping and debridement of the root canal – from flexible single-file systems to complete multi-step sequences.
Select a motion principle to read more and filter the table – or view all 8 systems together.
BlueShaper PRO, SlimShaper (PRO), ApicalShaper and NanoShaper rotate continuously at 500 rpm and are typically used as a sequence of 3–4 files (shaping → finishing). Offers more control across multiple steps.
Excalibur PRO, Excalibur PRO mini and Excalibur (base) move reciprocally (CW 30° / CCW 150°) and are single-file systems – one file is often enough to shape and finish the entire canal. Faster, fewer file changes.
Choose a lower taper and a more flexible cross-section (NanoShaper or SlimShaper) for severely curved canals.
Reciprocating single-file systems like Excalibur are easier to learn and use consistently.
Excalibur PRO (mini) handles both with the same file – the others require a separate glider file.
Irrigate and recapitulate with a K-file between each rotary file to avoid debris blockage.

| ExcaliburReciprocating | Integrated conductivity | Italic S-shaped | 400–500 / 4 | 5% | E20 Small · E25 Regular (85% of cases) · E35 Medium · E45 Large | Single-file, budget-friendly variant of Excalibur PRO |
All systems recommend irrigation and recapitulation with a K-file between each file change. See the individual product page for the complete workflow and glide path recommendation.
Rotary or reciprocating?
Rotary files turn continuously in one direction, and the canal is typically shaped with a sequence of files. Reciprocating files move alternately back and forth and are built as single-file systems. Zarc's Z-EVO endo motor can run both movements.
The systems
- BlueShaper PRO: rotary files with DualWire technology.
- SlimShaper and SlimShaper PRO: for complex, sclerosed or sharply curved canals.
- ApicalShaper: for treating the apical third of the canal.
- NanoShaper: for minimally invasive instrumentation.
- Excalibur, Excalibur PRO and Excalibur PRO Mini: reciprocating. PRO Mini is for narrow and curved canals.
Paper points and gutta-percha matched to the files, the endo motor and the apex locator can be found under Zarc Endo.












BlueShaper PRO Files
BlueShaper PRO® | Rotary root files with DualWire® technology
The BlueShaper PRO® instrumentation system delivers more efficient, safe and predictable root canal treatment. Thanks to the exclusive DualWire® technology, these rotary root files combine excellent cutting efficiency with exceptional flexibility, allowing clinicians to confidently handle everything from simple anatomies to the most complex endodontic cases.
DualWire® technology: Enhanced clinical performance
The main innovation behind BlueShaper PRO® is the incorporation of DualWire® technology. This innovation consists of integrating two different heat treatments into a single file, creating an instrument with superior versatility and performance. The apical part has a specific heat treatment that increases penetration capacity and cutting efficiency, while the rest of the instrument retains the characteristic BlueShaper® flexibility.
BlueShaper PRO® family
The system consists of eight files (ZXS, Z1–Z7), available individually or in assorted packs. Working lengths: 16mm, 21mm, 25mm and 31mm.
