.3dm ? Isn't that one of those weird Mac 3d file formats ?
I don't know of any converters off hand that handle that
file extension.

I think it is the 3-character version of the .3dmf extension(3D 
MetaFile, I think). It is the standard QuickDraw 3D format, and was 
created by Apple, but it is cross-platform. You might look at the Quesa 
project, they may have converter programs.

All I know about the format is that it is said to be a very nice 
cross-platform 3D format, it has been considered as the model format for 
AlephOne(an open-source FPS game).

Unless you have Rhino you are probably out of luck for the
time being. Someday someone will probably write a conversion
utility but I haven't heard of one as of yet.
