Hi alan,
There are a few fans of OpenSCAD (http://www.openscad.org/) at the
hackspace. It’s very different to GUI tools like Autodesk and Solidworks,
but we can help out with OpenSCAD if you have any questions in the space or
on the list.

I use solidworks or Sketchup shudders. Solidworks is excellent but very
expensive. SpaceClaim is very good but also expensive.
There are online modellers which work well too - tinkercad is very useable.
As Jim mentioned openscad is favoured by many at the hackspace…its a bit
too involved for me. Using math functions to generate shapes which you the
define positions to place in a diagram I find difficult.
Cheers
