    Since you dont own a printer I assume you are outsourcing the printing.  If that is the case all you will need on your end is a modeling software that will export out a .STL file which most will do. STL file isn't the only file that will work but is the most common.   I would check out the 3d printing group here as we have discussed the different software available.  Now if you are planning on getting a printer you would need a modeling software, Slicing software(slic3r) and a computer/printer interface(Pronterface).  You can integrate slic3r into Pronterface.  There is other software that will do the same thing.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask them.
