Is there any way to export a 3D geometry created in POVRAY to a CAD system such
as SolidWorks or Pro/Engineer? I have created the POVRAY objects by merging a
series of simple geometric shapes to create a set of complex 3D "particles". I
then size and distribute these particles in space.

Thanks for the help.

  No. POV-Ray files are not pure data files (like with most other renderers).
They are programs, and converting a program into an equivalent data file of
another renderer is a very hard problem.

  Another problem is that most other renderers use triangle meshes and NURBS.
In POV-Ray a triangle mesh is just one primitive among many.
