Trouble Converting .prt to .stl

Hello,
I am doing research this summer on breast cancer detection systems. Therefore, I created a model of a breast in creo 1.0 parametrics as a part (prt.) and would now like to 3D print my model. The 3D printer I am using is a Makerbot which accepts files only with .stl or .obj extensions. I first tried to 'save as' my breast model (.prt) file as a .stl file but that extension was not a option in the drop down menu so I selected the .obj extension. But when I tried to go look for this 'save as' file, I couldn't find it.
I then created an assembly file (.asm) and placed my breast model (.prt) in to it. I again 'save as' my assembly file as both a .stl and .obj file and successfuly found both files. Yet, when I tried to open them in Makerware, the software said it did not support my file. I was wondering if someone could help me out in converting my .prt file to an .stl or .obj file?
Attached is the .asm file I have been trying to convert and both of my unsuccessful file conversions (.stl and .obj). Please take a look and see for yourself what I am talking about.
Thanks for you help, I really appreciate it!
