Hi,
The software choice is wide. You need 2 functions :
-1/ create a *.STL file
-2/ process a *.STL to a *.gcode file

For /1, most 3D design softs have the function. There are 2 types of softwares, engineering and art modelling. Based on what you need we can recommend stuff. Have a look at Sketchup, Rhino, Blender, Autodesk, CATIA, Zbrush...

For /2, most rep rap based printers are compatible with Slic3r you can definitely try that as a free option. I personnally use and recommend this : https://www.simplify3d.com/software/supported-printers/
