Obligatory comment to anything related to parametric 3D modelling: Have a look at [solvespace], which is a GPL3 cross-platform standalone parametric modeller with an awesome hacker-feel.

If you drop by github to look at the code, make sure to check out some of the other awesome projects by @whiteshark (who is one of the authors).

As far as integrated CAD/CAM, I've never seen anything as nice to use as Fusion on the OSS side.

Honestly, I'll just end up paying. It pisses me off that they managed this so poorly, and even more that their pricing tiers include so much BS. Oh well.
