About us

IMSI Design builds affordable, general-purpose CAD and home design software for Windows and Mac, and has been a pioneer in mobile solutions for the architecture, engineering and construction industries.

Whether you are opening a CAD program for the first time or have been drafting for thirty years, the aim is the same: professional capability without a subscription you cannot escape. More than 16 million products have been distributed since 1983.

Our software

  • TurboCAD® – full 2D drafting and 3D solid modelling, from hobby projects to professional practice. Also available for Mac.
  • DesignCAD™ – straightforward 2D/3D CAD, and the shortest path from no experience to a finished drawing.
  • FloorPlan® – home and landscape design, from foundation to roof, including decks, gardens and lighting.

How we got here

IMSI began as a software publisher in 1983 and entered the CAD market in 1988, private-labelling the program ProDesign — now DesignCAD — under the IMSI Design name. The following year the company began reselling TurboCAD, the brand that became its flagship, and has owned and developed it since 1990.

What customers say

Works great! The price of the program is very reasonable for a 2D program, which is what I needed.

With its TurboCAD line, IMSI has been demonstrating for years that the drafting needs of many thousands of engineering and architectural professionals can be more than adequately met with software costing only a couple hundred dollars.
