We can created different various ways of laser cutting method. Some of them would work on your shape, but some would not. Sometimes I would change the 1st and 2nd axis to adjust the number of the slices to let it work, if that failed, then I would use the different cutting angles to get the final result.

Different Slice Angle
My final result is a radical sliced model, which is stable, but also perfectly shows the curve on the different ways, especially on the bottom and the top.

Here is a important tip for you guys,
When you open the file, the first thing you should and always keep in mind is to set a custom page for your model. In this case, the page file should be 300*600, which is the material size you can get from the lab and for the laser cut machine. The thickness should be a little bit larger than the material you want to use, for example, if you want to use 3mm plywood, the thickness should be more than 3.3mm which will let u put your slices together more easier.

And when you shape your model, you can use ShrinkWrap tool from Modify tool bar to slightly fix your model.
