I recommend looking into this project:

http://projects.blender.org/projects/blendercad/

It's under-developed, but you might be able to give it a
new start if there's enough interest.

But you may also be interested in:

http://exff.org/

I personally see this (Express/STEP/STEP-XML) as a possible
way forward for Free CAD for free design communities.
