California-based Callaway Golf Company announced a $15 million investment on November 6, 2026. It will fund a new advanced 3D printing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The site sits next to the company’s North America Distribution Center. Callaway expects it to become operational in mid-2027.
For golf club makers, 3D printing offers more than speed. It enables designs that conventional manufacturing cannot deliver. According to the announcement, the new Callaway facility should help the company pursue those designs.
From 2028, the Fort Worth site will support some of Callaway’s U.S. product needs. It will initially focus on custom titanium products, the company says. The investment builds on approximately seven years of additive manufacturing (AM) research and development.
Since late 2022, Callaway has produced prototypes and custom models internally. In doing so, it has developed expertise in titanium 3D printing.
“We believe the greatest performance breakthroughs come from challenging the status quo […]. We believe 3D printing represents one of the most significant opportunities to advance golf club performance in decades,” said Chip Brewer, President and CEO of Callaway Golf Company.
What changes with Fort Worth?
So far, AM at Callaway mainly served prototyping and custom models, as the company explains. With Fort Worth, the company is establishing dedicated U.S. production capabilities for 3D printed products.
“Nobody can create the next generation of performance by relying exclusively on yesterday’s methods,” Brewer added. For the CEO, “This isn’t just an investment in manufacturing.”
The Texas project also follows Callaway’s investments in golf ball manufacturing in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Those investments total more than $100 million over the past several years. The company describes Chicopee as the world’s most advanced golf ball manufacturing facility.
Callaway’s previous AM projects include a 12-month collaborative agreement signed in 2018 with Australia’s Titomic. The project aimed to bring Titomic’s Kinetic Fusion process into golf product manufacturing.
Meanwhile, COBRA Golf commercialized its first 3D printed Tour irons in 2025. It recently added two models to its 3D printed iron range. Both use fully printed 316L stainless steel.
Moving from in-house prototypes to a dedicated production site turns 3D printing from an R&D tool into a manufacturing tool. Callaway has given itself until 2028 to make that transition.
