Fritzing
free app for designing circuit boards, I don´t know much about it but
I think its pretty well designed for people who is in electronics: The
app has a good focus on intuitive graphics, with component library
including arduino, sensors, breadboard and lots of other familiar
stuff. Check it out at: http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/?p=9612

rapid prototyping service, send in 3d models get it back in physical
form, in plastic or metal (they have quite a few alternatives)
I havent used it, but I think they are quite cheap compared to other
rapid prototyping services-

shapeways also has a concept where you can sell your 3d models for
others to print and use..
