Cobra Golf adds new models to 3D printed iron range

The new irons join the existing 3DP Tour set, positioning Cobra Golf as the first major golf equipment manufacturer to offer a full range of 3D printed irons across multiple player categories. Both new models use metal additive manufacturing to deliver player-focused shaping, forged-like feel, and enhanced forgiveness through internal structures not possible with conventional manufacturing.

Metal additive manufacturing reaches new player segments

The 3DP iron family was first introduced with the 3DP Tour irons, which combined blade-like appearance with game-improvement forgiveness. With the MB and X models, Cobra says it can now offer a 3D printed iron suitable for the vast majority of golfers.

Both new models are produced using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) in 316L stainless steel. Each iron is printed as a one-piece component featuring an internal lattice structure. According to Cobra, the lattice enables precise control of mass distribution, acoustic tuning, and structural stiffness while eliminating the need for bonded face inserts or multi-part assemblies.

The 3DP MB is positioned as a muscle-back blade iron blending traditional player-preferred aesthetics with increased playability.  Internally, the clubhead incorporates a lattice core and strategically placed tungsten weights in the heel and toe. Cobra says this configuration raises the moment of inertia while lowering the center of gravity, making the 3DP MB more forgiving than conventional blades and accessible to golfers with handicaps around 10. 

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the 3DP X irons target golfers seeking super game-improvement performance and higher launch characteristics. Like the MB, the X model uses fully 3D printed, one-piece stainless steel construction with an internal lattice structure. Tungsten weighting in the toe and hosel increases stability on off-center hits. Rather than relying on a thin face insert, the lattice supports the face internally, enabling distance and forgiveness without compromising feel, according to the company.

Additive manufacturing as production strategy

Cobra’s leadership frames the launch as a broader statement on additive manufacturing’s readiness for high-performance consumer products. “The fact that we are the first OEM to offer a full range of 3D printed irons that exceed the performance of comparable, traditionally made irons clearly shows our dedication to innovation,” said Dan Ladd, President of Cobra Golf.
