Buying for a team?
License the company, not the individual. An enterprise licence puts every seat on one agreement that belongs to the business, with the help to roll it out and keep track of it.
Everything an enterprise licence includes →Seats that stay with the company
When someone leaves, their seat passes to whoever replaces them. A retail licence is personal and tied to one machine; an enterprise seat belongs to the business.
A dedicated account manager
One named contact at IMSI Design who knows your seats, editions and renewal dates, instead of a general sales queue.
Installation and deployment help
We work with your IT team on the rollout: packaging the installer, imaged machines and activating every seat, so it is one job rather than one per desk.
Licence management
Every seat on one register: who has it, which edition, which machine and when it renews. Moving a seat is a request to your account manager, not a new purchase.

The people who bill for the drawing
Consultancies, manufacturers, contractors and arts organisations run TurboCAD and DesignCAD on the work they bill for. Four of them let us write it up.

What it does
The capabilities people actually buy it for
Photorealistic rendering
Render the model you already drew - materials, luminances and environment - without exporting it to another package. RedSDK and LightWorks engines are available as plug-ins on top.
- 3D Photorealistic Rendering: Deluxe and above
- Customizable Luminances and Material Libraries: Deluxe and above
Reads and writes what the rest of the team uses
AutoCAD DWG, DXF and DWF in and out, plus SketchUp SKP, STEP, OBJ, 3DM, DAE, SVG and Adobe 3D PDF. The number of import formats is the clearest difference between the editions.
File formats by edition →
BIM via IFC
Architectural objects carry data, not just geometry, and go out as IFC for a BIM workflow. Full support is a Platinum feature; Deluxe and Professional carry a limited form of it.
- Simple BIM via IFC Support: Platinum only
- Architectural Sections and Elevations: Pro and above
AI that does the tedious part
Describe a part in plain words and get geometry back, find the component you need instead of drawing it, and let Copilot set up lighting and materials for a render. They run on the Copilot Professional plug-in, which works with any edition — you do not have to buy up to reach them.
- Copilot Render Assistant: every edition
- AI-powered basic Text-to-CAD: every edition
- AI-powered Part Finder: Deluxe and above
Constraints and parametric parts
Drive geometry with 2D geometric and dimensional constraints, build assemblies from parts, and edit parametric parts from a table rather than redrawing them.
Mechanical design with TurboCAD →
Architectural tools that know what a wall is
Self-healing walls, doors, windows and roofs as real objects, with sections and elevations generated from the model instead of drawn by hand.
- Walls: every edition
- Windows: Deluxe and above
- Roofs: Deluxe and above

Thirty years of people who kept using it
Our company designs and fabricates furniture and cabinetry for both private and commercial customers. We have the original version off DesignCAD, liked revision capability, so added the newer version.
I must say that I am totally impressed with your product. After reviewing the tutorial provided I was drawing professional quality drawings within minutes.
Price-wise, TurboCAD is much more attractive than other engineering 3D software. It can do all the things that AutoCAD and Solidworks could do, but at a far more friendly price.
