I'd make the models myself in Zbrush. You guys know you need to get 3D data to print things, and not every 3D model is ready for 3d Printing, right? There are certain requirements for the mesh, and you'll either need to be able to model/fix things yourself, or hire someone to do it -- or buy the geometry files.
For the prototype parts we make it requires solidworks. That is not a cheap piece of software and the learning curve is steep.
