About slicing a form

I've made a 1/2 a vase form using the loft and shell function. I would like to 'take it apart' to make a cookie cutter for each facet . What's the best way to accomplish this? I looked into slicing, but it only seems to cut it along a plane crossing, cutting through the entire object. This is the simplest form, like this, I'm working on.

Your facets are not actually flat - which might be a problem. You could try looking at the 'Flatten Surfaces' tool - https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/View/analysis_tools.htm?cshid=showFlattenSurfaces#Flatten
