I'm a student doing a senior design project at my university using Creo Parametric Student Edition. I can't figure out how to save my .prt files as .stl files in order to 3D print them. I've read online that saving as a .stl file should be an option under "save a copy" but it's never there. What's going on?

Welcome to the forum.

Since you are on a student edition, I cannot open the files, but once you are in your file. Do a File, Save As and then below where you type the name, select the .stl extension as the type of file you want to save. Then type in the name you want to save it as if it is different from the default. That should work.

Thanks, Dale
