I have Solidworks and Fusion 360 thru work, both are vastly better for engineer quality modeling and production, but Solidworks is a few grand. If it's something you want to really pursue, you may consider Fusion 360. I believe they still offer a free version for hobbyists, but even their pro version is reasonably priced.
I'm also in Mid TN (live in Murfreesboro and work in Franklin) and have a filament style printer if you need to test some stuff out. It's an XYZ Davinci with an 8" cube print volume.
Awesome, I actually live in Clarksville but I work in Nashville, I play at the Stage on Broadway 3 days a week and a couple times a week at AJ's. We should get together and hang sometime. I have watched some videos on Fusion 360 and love the whole sketching on a plane and extruding it thing. Right now my computer is running a 32 bit OS though and Fusion is 64 bit only. I never did 3d work for a living just a few logos and concepts for clients back when I was a web designer.
I've been very interested in 3d printing. It started watching some of the 3d creations people were making here, which led me to start researching printers which led me to YouTube, after watching lots of videos by Joel the 3d printing nerd, Angus at Maker's Muse and Thomas Sanladerer. I really felt like it wasn't something over my head, I used to build and repair computers and laptops so I think I can build a kit printer, maintain and upgrade it no problem. (We'll see)
I might take you up on that offer to test some things, have you been happy with the DaVinci? I have heard some mixed reviews on it.
