Established in 1984, Vickers Metal Works, Inc. is located in Orlando,
Florida and operates from a 12,000 square foot
facility. Our Sheet Metal Shop is equipped with a wide range
of machinery from old-time forming equipment to the latest
CNC fabricating machines. We pride ourselves on maintaining
a clean and well organized shop. This allows Vickers Metal
Works to operate with the utmost efficiency, thereby providing
our customers with a quick turnaround time and superior quality
on each project. Small jobs can usually be done "same-day" and
every effort is made to complete large projects according to
the customer's schedule.
Vickers Metal Works CAD department can view and interpret most
digital drawing formats. We use Auto-Cad and Auto-Sketch to edit
and create simple 2D drawings. For realistic renderings, parts
and assembly modeling we use SolidWorks 2007 to ensure our shop
drawings will produce the desired result in metal. Combining
over 30 years of experience with modern 3-dimensional computer
modeling, allows us to design parts accurately and to anticipate
possible problems that can be overcome before fabrication. Computer
design also improves communication with our CNC machines for
extremely accurate layout, cutting, punching, forming and assembly
of parts.
CAD capability:
1. 2D Drawings in .DWG OR .DXF format
2. 3D part modeling in SolidWorks 2007

Tim and Sue Vickers
My father Tom and I started our business in 1984, after working
together since 1975. Sue, who majored in Accounting,
came on board to run our office. Building on the reputation
that my father had established as being the top sheet
metal mechanic in the area since 1946, our vision was
to offer the finest quality sheet metal products and
service in the Central Florida area. Our employees have
taken on the same goals and continue to set the high
standards that our customers expect and deserve.
