You're likely to need to do it in two steps.
1. Use whatever export options your CAD softwater has to export the objects
in a format for which there is a POV-Ray converter available (e.g. .obj,
.3ds etc).
2. Use a converter such as PoseRay to convert to POV-Ray mesh or mesh2
objects.
The generated POV-Ray objects can be incorporated into your POV-Ray scene
file either using cut and paste or by '#include'ing the files containing the
objects you've converted.
