I don't know, I don't use 3Ds Max. May be an option in the export

Yes, there is an option.
It's in the modifiers. (modifier stack, usually on the right side)
Haven't used 3DMax for a while now, but I believe they're named Subdivide and Smooth.
Try playing around with those.

don't use the normal smooth,
use the turbosmooth 
if you just use the smooth modifier,, it won't increase the number of poly's, but just renders it sort of so you wont see the edges really.
don't know how to describe in english,
but the turbosmooth will give it more polygons,, which is usefull for printing
