I use IronCAD. This is a 3D-design solution similar to Solidworks, SolidEdge or ProE/CREO. Unfortunately similarly expensive but I have it already for a long time.

You do inspiring work! I am always getting great ideas from what you share on this forum.

I recently changed to Ironcad Inovate "only one module of Ironcad suite" to replace an older version of AutoCAD with limited 3d that was to costly to maintain. I was also reluctant to change because of decades of AutoCAD experience. It was still expensive but I wish I had done this years ago. While learning the program I created a solid model assembly in less then one day that would have taken a week to do in my older version of AutoCAD. I understood my cad tools were dated but I had no idea how much . With a software plug in I can now also move cad models into cam software and in position with one click. Before this took a number of steps to get down to setting up tool paths.
