Objectify FSAE Sponsorship Programme 2026

Powering the Next Generation of Indian Motorsport

At Objectify Technologies, we believe the engineers building India’s Formula Student cars today are the same minds who will design our aerospace, defence, and EV platforms tomorrow. It’s time we backed them with the same technology we deliver to ISRO, HAL, IAI, and JSW.

We’re proud to announce the Objectify FSAE Sponsorship Programme 2026—supporting Indian Formula Student teams across both Combustion (IC) and Electric Vehicle (EV) categories with production-grade additive manufacturing

What We Offer Your Team

We’re sponsoring 3 teams. Each selected team will receive over ₹1,00,000 worth of additive manufacturing support, including:

Free 3D-printed components for Formula Student race cars
Access to Metal L-PBF manufacturing:
- - Ti-6Al-4V
  - AlSi10Mg
  - IN718
  - SS316L
Manufacturing on EOS M290 & EOS M400-4 printers
- PA12
- PA603-CF
- PA3200-GF
- Access to Polymer SLS manufacturing:
- Manufacturing on EOS P396 systems
- DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) consulting from Objectify’s engineering team
- Production through AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015 certified workflows
What We Ask in Return

Selected teams will be required to:
- Display Objectify branding on the race car
- Include Objectify branding on team apparel and pit displays
- Tag Objectify Technologies in social media content throughout the season
- Support collaborative technical and marketing content creation
Who Can Apply?

The programme is open to:
- Registered Formula Student / FSAE teams from Indian engineering institutions
- Teams participating in:
- Formula Bharat 2027
- Supra SAEINDIA 2026
- FMAE Formula Imperial
- International Formula Student events

Both IC and EV teams are encouraged to apply.

Judging Rubric

Applications will be evaluated out of 100 points based on:

Criterion	Weight	What we’re looking for
Technical merit of proposed parts	30	Genuine DFAM thinking — parts that should be 3D-printed, not retrofitted. Topology optimisation, lattice structures, part consolidation, conformal cooling, complex geometries that justify AM cost.
Team track record & capability	20	Past competition results, design report scores, technical inspection pass rates, year-on-year improvement. New teams welcome but must show seriousness.
Engineering documentation quality	15	Clarity of CAD, calculations, FEA, material selection logic, design intent. Sloppy submissions tell us how the project will run.
Branding & marketing value to Objectify	15	Visibility of branding on car, team’s social media reach, institution profile, expected event footfall, willingness to co-create content.
Diversity of AM use	10	Bonus for teams proposing both metal and polymer parts — we want to showcase the full Objectify capability.
Innovation & ambition	10	Are they trying something the rest of the grid isn’t? Novel materials, novel processes, novel geometries.

Selection Process

Stage 1 — Application Review

Objectify’s engineering panel reviews all submissions.

Stage 2 — Technical Interview

Shortlisted teams present their proposal during a 30-minute technical discussion.

Stage 3 — Final Selection

Top 3 teams are announced publicly through Objectify channels.

Stage 4 — Onboarding

Sponsored teams complete onboarding, production scheduling, and design freeze planning.

Sponsorship Cap & Conditions

- ₹1,00,000 cap per team is calculated at Objectify’s published commercial rate card (machine hour + material + post-processing + inspection)
- Parts will be delivered in two batches if needed (prototype + final) within the team’s design freeze and competition timeline
- Standard post-processing included; advanced heat treatment, or third-party machining will be charged at cost
- IP of all designs remains with the team; Objectify retains rights only for marketing imagery
