Weight loss is the New Year’s resolution at the very top of every golf club designer’s list. 2021 is setting up to be a big year for 3D printed golf equipment with Cobra releasing two more products in the summer and other OEMs poised to subsequently follow suit. Yagley predicts 5-10% of clubheads will be 3D printed or integrate 3D printed components by 2025. Based in Burlington Massachusetts, Desktop Metal is a 3D printing company whose diverse customer base includes Ford, Medtronic MDT , Eaton, Moen, and the U.S. Army. “The innovation in golf has been quite strong moving from forging to MIM (metal injection molding), and I think 3D printing is the next step on that innovation pathway,” adds Aggarwal.
