[slicing my design, not for the print etc, but to tile a larger design?]

So hi I'm new to the world of 3D printing, and Cura seems to be a little overwhelming until you've used it a bit, but here's my question about large prints. 

 

I've got a large (wide) design that's bigger than my print area, is there a way to tile it into several separate prints? like you would if in 2D print you printed on 4 sheets of paper for a larger print?

 

my 3D software is at its limit and struggles with the design, let alone slicing it up before hand.  

 

or alternatively is there another program that can "tile" it prior to import to Cura?
