I’m looking for a CAD packages which will enable me to create models which I can output in a format for someone else to manufacture. I have no current ambitions to do my own CNC work. I do have a lathe and mill which I use to fit and design parts.

By way of example. I want to fit some different front forks to a motorbike. The forks will be larger and wider. All the measurements I can perform myself and I also do all the checking so that I know the forks will fit as I expect. I want to have new triple clamps made to my design. I have this expectation that if I draw the triple clamps using a CAD package I can then send a file to a manufacture who can then using CNC technology produce the part.

So what sort of package would be suitable for drawing parts and producing output files for others to manufacture ?
