You can use Rhino (free), Autodesk Inventor (little expensive), or Solidworks Office Premium (spend your life savings!).

You could use autocad, very involved though.

Been thanked: 4 times

Rhino is great, I've used it to model my last two cannons. 3D modeling is a good tool for catching design flaws before beginning the actual construction, as well as getting a good understanding of how the gun will turn out.
