Pro Cutter taking too much time

I'm trying to cut a complex object made of more than 3 millions polygons using Pro Cutter. The cutter is quite more simple, around 3 thousand polygons. 

I checked only "stock inside cutter". I did some tests with simpler object and it works as I want. 

Basically like cutting a cake into several irregular pieces. 
The problem is that Max is taking forever. I let Max calculate for hours but with no results. Suggestions? I am using 2023. 
I can not simplify the models obviously.

You may be doing something that takes so much calculation that it can't complete. Three million is a lot to divide up. Have you tried using Pro Optimizer to reduce it first than then using Pro Cutter?

I solved like this: split the "cake" before and then apply "subdivide adaptive option". In this way I have my pieces and all my polygons (actually triangles). 

Thanks anyway!

There you go. Sounds like a good method.
