The cnc/plasmacam is my buddies. He has a business making cute little customized metal cut signs you put in front of your house. I'm pretty sure I'm using sketchup right now because it was the first thing that came up in my google search results for 3D design software. Only CAD experience I have is 2D design.

I used AutoCAD 2d for a previous job and SketchUp to make pretty pictures at that same job. Switched jobs to a laser shop (non design role) and used DraftSight to design a fancy end plate for my rocket bunny V1 wing and some hood vents. Then one of the engineers told me about OnShape because my next project needed 3d modeling. I used it for several projects now and found it much easier to use than SketchUp. And you can get actually files that you can manufacture from. Now I have solidworks at my new job (which is even better than OnShape) but I still tomorrow with OnShape at home when I come up with some crazy thing to make. I recommend you check it out, watch some tutorials on YouTube. Should make turning your idea into a product much easier
