Fusion 360 is a CAD program that is free for students, makers and small companies.
It comes with a very powerful CAM suite.
There is an "app store" for professional or community-built plugins as well.
Laser Cutting
You can export any sketch by right clicking it and choosing "Save as DXF".
Another option is to create a "drawing" from your design and lay out the views in the corresponding window, but this is relatively complicated and only makes sense if you already want to arrange multiple pieces at this stage.
