How to convert 3d dxf contour map to nurbs surface?

A friend wants to convert a 3d dxf contour map (of the local geography) to a NURBS surface so he can make so rapid prototype models. I've tried bringing the data into SolidWorks 2008, but it brings SolidWorks to a grinding halt.
Any suggestions on what software could do this?

I could try to convert it for you in Rhino, and than to a format you like best.

Hi!
Max has a contour object that will convert it to a mesh, not NURBS, but for RP you don't want a nurbs anyway. Admittedly it's not the best tool in the world...
