    It doesn't help with the creation, but a lot of info about doing them once the design is found on the web;

    One of the best for that kind of thing without breaking the bank is Rhino.

    It is a 2D cut, but the outline or vectors are derived from a 3D mesh of a model. Sure, you could draw it in 2D, but you would need a good 3D minds eye to design it.

    Not sure if this will work or if it is still valid but you might give it a look.
