Cobra Golf, headquartered in Carlsbad, California, USA, has expanded its line of additively manufactured clubs with the 3DP MB irons and 3DP X irons, both with a focus on forgiveness for players of various skill levels.

“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 3DP MB is a muscle back blade intended to offer the look and feel of a forged component. Additively manufactured as a single piece via Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB), the iron features a lattice core with repositioned weight, provided by tungsten, in the head and toe to offer a higher MOI (moment of inertia) and lower CG (centre of gravity).

Intended to offer more forgiveness than other irons of the same size, the 3DP X are focused on golfers with a mid handicap (between 10-20). The X is also additively manufactured as a single component from stainless steel 316L and features an internal lattice structure supporting the thin face, a factor which reportedly maintains performance without impacting feel.

“Cobra Golf has always been driven by innovation,” said Dan Ladd, Cobra Puma Golf President. “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.”

Cobra adopted Additive Manufacturing in 2024 with its LIMIT3D irons, reportedly the first commercially available AM steel irons.

In 2025, Cobra built on its additively manufactured offerings with the expansion of its LIMIT3D putter range to include the Pista and Enzo Models, produced via Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) and Binder Jetting (BJT) respectively. 2025 also saw the company introduce its 3DP Tour irons.
