Personally, I love OpenSCAD, but it really isn't for everyone.

a student license for autodesk products might be worth it. (they are free btw)

If you mean modelling instead of "molding" or moulding? Then google sketchup is really easy to pick up and use. I tried autodesk's free 123d i think it is called.... but it crashed on me so i never touched it again. And it is hard to learn how to use from no experience.

Google Sketchup has decent controls and allows you to do dimensioning with real-world units. It will even do architectural-style flythroughs.
