Dear Ender,

I personally haven't come across anything that imports IGES or STEP and
exports .osg directly so I think you will need to go into OSG via an
intermediate file format, e.g. 3DS, DirectX, Wavefront OBJ etc.  In house we
use Okino Polytrans, or Solidworks (neither of which is free) but there are
plenty of other tools around that will convert STEP/IGES to something like
3DS, which OSG will import and convert.

I personally like going via OBJ as it's an ascii format that is editable by
hand (just) in case things go a bit awry.

Depending on the models, you may get slightly different results going
different routes. My experience of going via 3DS, for example, always ends
up with slightly strangely flipped normals.

Hope that helps,

David
