If you cut simultaneously many parts then you can achieve this by a separator object in split mode.
If there are many time consuming steps then a multiprocessor is a better choice. Unfortunately you must create items by command or process flow after each single process step. And you resize your first item each time then, too,
Alternatively you create right from the start your number of cut items and you let them move along a conveyor, that it seems that they are still uncut. At a station or a photo eye, you stop the items row. First item moves first, the followoing waits a bit longer that you get a cutting process on your conveyor.
Edit: in this answer you see the opposite process bending a flat sheet into a ring. https://answers.flexsim.com/answers/78064/view.html
