Ingrid,

It is Brockware. And yes, I have used it to create stl files
from iges. it does work, but has some limitations. If you are
just trying to generate a stl file from a fully qualified
surface model, it works fine. If however, your are trying to
get a thin walled part from a single shell, you may run into
problems depending upon the shape.
