Wind your own rocket parts, with industry software behind you.
TANIQ sponsors university rocketry teams with access to TaniqWind Pro — the design and manufacturing software used to build filament-wound pressure vessels, motor casings and airframes in industry.
What your team gets
The hardest things to come by at university aren't parts or budget — they're professional tools, and people who have already done what you're trying to do. Sponsorship gives your team both, and puts you inside the industry you're about to join.
TaniqWind Pro access
A free license for your team, covering the full workflow — from layer design and build-up prediction through to the CNC or robotic programs that wind the part.
Learn from composites experts
You get to learn from and stay in close touch with engineers who design and wind composite structures for a living.
Teams around the world
You're part of a growing community of university rocketry teams, all running the same software on comparable problems. Whatever you run into, chances are another team has met it first.
How a partnership starts
We're looking for teams to work with, not just a place to put a logo. The best partnerships we have started with a conversation about what a team was trying to build and what was standing in the way — so that's where this starts too.
Introduce your team
Tell us who you are, what you're building, which competition you're aiming at, and what your sponsorship package looks like.
We talk it through
Technically — whether your project is compatible with the software and whether you can produce it, which usually means access to a winder.
Communication — what each side brings, and how your team shares its work with its community and its partners.
We get you set up
Once we've agreed how we'll work together, we sort out your software access so your team can get going without waiting around.
Build it!
Take your design through the full TaniqWind Pro workflow. We'll check in at agreed points through the season — partly to see how it's going, partly because we like hearing about it.
See what it can do
Our TaniqWind Pro tutorials are open to anyone. They're the quickest way to find out what the software handles and whether it fits what your team is trying to build — and if you do come on board, you'll already know your way around.
Bring your team on board for this season
Tell us about your team, the part you want to wind and what your sponsorship package includes. We'll come back to you with what we can offer.
Before you send: make sure you include your sponsorship brochure in your email.
