There is a 3D CAD program available that is free as well. It's called OnShape. It's cloud based, meaning that you don't have to install the program on your computer, just go to the website and start designing. The only limitation for the free version is that you can only have 10 files in the cloud at once, although "a" file consists of all assemblies, sub assemblies, parts and drawings associated with one project. Other than that, it's a full featured 3D CAD program, complete with assemblies and animations, and it even works on a phone or tablet. I'm looking into it to replace SolidWorks at work. The $100/month for the unlimited version is what we pay for the SolidWorks annual maintenance contract alone and that's after shelling out $4K for the seat.
