Blum has the Dynalog/Dynaplan software to draw cabinets and if necessary with Blum hardware of course.
You get the drawings for all parts needed to manufacture the cabinets including groves, holes, etc.
Unfortunately it's not 3D based but you can export the cabinets to any other CAD software to make 3D models of it.
You don't need 3D software to make relative simple cabinets which are mainly square or rectangular.
You can only get if you are a customer of Blum, but that's easy to accomplice.

Have you looked at www.2020spaces.com/2020products/2020giza/
I don't use it, but a few clients I work with use it.
I like it because it's compatible with autocad, so it's make it easier for me to import the 20/20 file for my use in either autocad or 3DS Max.

SketchUp has become very popular and there are lots of videos on YouTube on how to use it for cabinets and furniture: http://www.sketchup.com
In fact, Ron Paulk has several videos on his channel:

Its a 2D system but Draftsight is a nice easy to use cad program. Like Neeleman said you don't really need a 3D system to draw cabinet boxes. I use an American software called KCD to do layouts, elevations and as an order system for Purebond's CNC cabinets.
I have been using LibreCAD, which is free 2D program. Quite powerful
LibreCAD is a fully comprehensive 2D CAD application that you can download and install for free. There is a large base of satisfied LibreCAD users worldwide, and it is available in more than 20 languages and for all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Suse ...). Here is a link to the homepage- LibreCAD
You can download, install and distribute LibreCAD freely, with no fear of copyright infringement.
I have tried FreeCAD for 3d. Has a bit of a learning curve but works pretty good.
FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is open source (LGPL license) and completely modular, allowing for very advanced extension and customization.
FreeCAD is multiplatfom, and reads and writes many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL and others. Read more...
Who is FreeCAD for?
The home user/hobbyist. Got yourself a project you want to build, have built, or 3D printed? Model it in FreeCAD. No previous CAD experience required. Our community will help you get the hang of it quickly! Link to homepage
