I don't know if this option is available in the UK, but Autodesk has an introductory offer for Fusion 360 (CAD and CAM) that get's you the full $1200/year package for $300/year, for life.

I've never used it, but I'm seriously considering it.
I had hoped to one day purchaser a full seat of AutoCAD. But, Autodesk is going subscription only next year for all their products, and this is a great deal.

you can also get it free or a slightly limited version that's cad and cam by using the startup or student option its not a trial version.
I installed it earlier and all seems to work fine.

Nobody mentioned Rhino,which i believe may be the best program money wise/feature wise. In real life most of the people i know of, use Rhino+some integrated cam. That and Solidworks are the most popular i have seen at machining shops or small companies. Solid edge seems the most popular here for designing products and Autocad for architectural and interior design.

I think you are correct, it's what I use now.
