What is VRML file?
The VRML file extension (also known as Virtual Reality Modeling Language files) is a type of 3D graphic designed for use in the Internet and other computer programs. VRML was created by the Silicon Graphics Corporation as a platform-independent language for describing 3-dimensional scenes and objects, and it is designed to create interactive models featuring animation and multimedia. VRML files are created in a 3D world by a software program such as Cortona VRML Client, Blender, or Maya. [ ⏩ ] VRML file extension
What is 3DM file?
The 3DM (3DM) file extension is associated with Rhinoceros 3D, a comprehensive software program used for creating 3D models and calculations. It offers users the ability to physically create three-dimensional models in a few different ways, including through surfaces, curves, solids and meshes, as well as by using commands. 3DM files are generated when a user saves their project in Rhinoceros 3D.

How to convert the file from VRML to 3DM?
To successfully convert the VRML file to 3DM, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.VRML). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case 3DM (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than 3DM).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. VRML to 3DM. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting VRML files to 3DM files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension 3DM, while before this step we had the VRML file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new 3DM file, or not.
