Graitec UK Advance Steel Model Competition 2023

On January 17th 2023, we successfully hosted the Graitec UK Advance Steel User Day at the Edgbaston Cricket ground in Birmingham. Attendees had a great time. As a part of the event, we held a model competition and received 50 models from 16 companies. We extend our gratitude to all who participated.

The winners are:-

Best Use of PowerPack – Putt Stars from C&N Fabrications

Of particular interest in the Putt Stars model was the use of multiple macros to create the stair fights and railings, combined with manual AS elements for support structure to the stair. The macros for stairs and railings joints were maintained intact. The whole outer railing is one single macro. The following PowerPack Premium joints and features were used.

PowerPack Stair macro

• Main flight + landing
• Landing plate split feature
• Landing support ribs

PowerPack Railing macro

• Use of multiple macros to create the railings
• Making use of the infill panel
• Special part brackets

Structures – Porter Street Footbridge by Briton Fabricators

Miscellaneous – KXS5 Arches from Gascoyne & Beever

Architectural (Stairs and Railings) – Genotin Road from C&N Fabrications

Congratulations to the winners. We look forward to seeing what you come up with next year.
