Turning .iges files into .stl

Most of my company's designs are in .iges files for C n C machines that made injection molding tools.

Is there a free, EZ to use program that can transfer .iges into .stl for 3D printing?

I did find one .stl and used S3D to downsize one of my fishing flashers for on the water testing in Lk. MI for Salmon.

Here's the finished prints in PLA (ABS to much warping issues) with rivets and lure tape:

Before I used commercial services to make SLAs for testing.
M2 means I can do some of this stuff myself which means a wider variance of test models
I can produce in my shop for future products.

Well I don't know anything about iges, but a little digging turned up this free online converter:

I guess you have nothing to lose by trying it. The web page looks clean enough.
