Scission

'Scission' meaning “The act of cutting or dividing, as with an edged instrument”

 Union

Sometimes complex shapes need to be divided into the smaller pieces. A good example is when creating 'molds' from the pieces of a boolean operation. Or splitting a complex shape into the component pieces from an imported design, i.e. splitting STL models.

const newshapes = scission(bigshape) // expect an array containing the pieces
