i am searching for metal free post and core systems
i need one to offer as an alternative to the conventional cast method
i need one that could be created either in my lab or at client/dentist
any leads?

The only true metal free post & core system that I know of is the Cosmopost. It includes a zirconia post (in 2 sizes-1.4 or 1.7mm.) and then a pressed core goes over the post. Check this out for the full technique:

I still like the ol' tried and true, cast metal post & cores. We'll opaque the cores when needed. I totally know I am not helping out with your question, sorry. You made me think about what I regularly do. It seems we often are asked to undo some "new fangled, whiz bang" restorations (from someone else) that failed and get back to basics with treatment that we know will work. Tried and true.

I have a buddy that does a lot of composite work , full crowns, inlays/onlays, and he has told me he does all his post and cores using Tescera by bisco.

I like to cast a post with two very thin posts adjacent to each other (if room permits) on the coronal portion, opaque and then wax and press a ceramic 'prep' over that. This technique gives the intimate fit of the cast post and the aesthetics of all ceramic.
I read it in a book by a big Ivoclar guy in Europe. Can't remember his name.
If you need photos, holler and I'll try to upload some...I've not done that yet.
