Free one. A converter , gpl, to convert IGES to *ac of ac3d comercial modeller. bellow of this link, to free modellers that open ac3d format. (ms dos tool, I think.Should be easy.)

this one could serve you convert the ac3d format to something much more common...
It supports a load of formats, maybe even iges, but if not, if at least it has ac3d import, u could import the files already converted from iges to ac3d in 3dc, above.

Beware what 3dc opens are Varicad IGES, dunno if that's compliant with ur iges, but could be.

Minos.freeware. Seems that opens iges files, and can save to vrml.There's a LOAD of tools and ways to convert a vrml.Ask if u don't know any....(I've read somewhere ir not only output, but also imports IGES...)
