As the 3DS's file system has yet to be opened, there are currently no tools available for the 3DS to help ripping content. Only a select few have been able to open a 3DS ROM, but they currently refuse to share the information with the public.

There seems to be a way of creating a RAM dump, making it possible to rip models and sounds this way. The method requires a 3DS system below 4.5 firmware and a flashcart, and can be quite complex. More information [http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=11626 here].
