The current-gcode viewer is rendered in a shader that uses vertex displacement, this makes it damn annoying to get that data and save it as STL.
Even if you would create a model out of the lines specified in the gcode, it would not be a very "nice" model to work with.
At one time, AutoDesk had a tool that would let you load a gcode file and then "remesh" it into an stl, but it has been "retired".
Some of its functionality is now part of MeshMixer, but loading gcode files is not.

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-

Wow. That's going to be hard to do and even if you got it to work it would be pretty ugly. You would lose a lot of the resolution of the original part.
There are lots of much simpler gcode viewers than cura. For example there is http://gcode.ws website which is written completely in javascript I think. You could start with that. cura is much more complicated.
