Yes you can.
As said before, Yes you will be able to export pattern editor as a STL file.
Here is a link to the LHR tutorials on STL

They show lots about using the STL modual. I don't recall where, but I think you see them do an export on one of the 4 lessons. Basically, as soon as you bring in the scan (if it's clean), you export it right then. You do not wait until you lower the depth to what is allowable for the carving of a standard pattern. What you're after is to use the total depth of your scan, and then use the STL mod to slice it into carvable pieces. This then allows you to then glue the pieces together like an Oreo cookie.

Hi, In the one tutorial #4 of the car they show you where the rotate the slicing plane.
So you can slice the model where you need to
