SketchUp has come along way since when I first looked at it 5 years ago. 
I have two buddies at the Hacklab.to hacker/maker space that are using 
to design and then 3D print replacement parts for professional camera 
equipment along with internal Nerf gun mechanical parts and housings. 
The quality of the parts created are being more limited by our 3D 
printer then the software.
