Fully 3D-printed from 316L stainless steel using a DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) process
COBRA Golf just added the 3DP MB and 3DP X models to its 3D Printed iron range. While the OEM publicly revealed its use of AM in 2020, 2025 marked a turning point for its activities with the commercialization of its first 3D printed Tour irons.
Still manufactured with AM, the new models would unlock a new level of performance. They would deliver the look and feel of forged players irons with the forgiveness and enhanced distance of much larger designs.
“We’re excited to offer these two new innovative iron models that build on the tremendous success of our 3DP Tour irons,” said Ryan Roach, Director of Innovation at COBRA PUMA GOLF. “With the addition of the MB and X, we now have a 3D-printed model that can fit the vast majority of players, allowing just about any golfer to benefit from the performance advantages of 3D printing technology.”
The MB model: an internal lattice core
The MB model is a muscleback blade that combines player-preferred shaping, feel, and precision. 3D printed in one piece, the new iron features an internal lattice core. This tunes acoustics for soft, forged feel. It also repositions weight in the heel and toe with tungsten to achieve a high MOI and lower CG.
The 3DP X irons: playability and high launch
On the other hand, the 3DP X irons combine playability with a clean, modern look, making them suitable for a wide range of players. Their design targets golfers with handicaps between 10 and 20 who want maximum game-improvement performance and a high launch.
Unlike many game-improvement and distance irons, Cobra’s new 3DP X irons feature a one-piece construction with no face insert. An internal lattice structure supports the thin face, delivering performance and forgiveness without compromising feel.
“Cobra Golf has always been driven by innovation,” said Dan Ladd, President of Cobra Puma Golf. “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 level of dedication to making the very best performing gear in golf.”
