This does 3D modelling, and for home use it is a couple of hundred $. (it was $100)
Dave,
I am assuming you are talking about the PE version. It looks like it will export .stl files and there appears to be several inexpensive CAM applications that will import the .stl and create gcode. Do you have any experience in that area?

What version of Alibre did you use to create this?

Regretfully ... or maybe not ... do not have any relatives in school thought the wife would agree that multiple "For Dummies ..." books could apply.
