It should be possible to convert 3ds Max graphics (.3ds) to 3D NURBS format (.3dm) with several dedicated 3d modeling tools or specialized converters. Considering the support for the proprietary formats from 3ds Max is somewhat limited, you will always have difficulties in finding suitable converter, for example for 3ds to 3dm conversion.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned 3ds to 3dm. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
