Wall Street Journal article mentions the use of more affordable 3-D tools for small business from SolidWorks, SketchUp and Autodesk:

Historically, small businesses that used 3-D technology were predominantly in the engineering, industrial design and architecture fields. But now, as software costs have dropped, more consumer-product companies like Mr. David’s are finding it cost-effective to purchase sophisticated modeling tools, rather than outsource product development or use rudimentary in-house methods.

SolidWorks, SketchUp Pro, and Autodesk products are available at an educational discount price from Creation Engine.
