Weird question, but anyone know if wire EDM can be bent at all? (lemm.ee)

I saw some clay sculpting tools and started thinking it would be sweet to cut metal with something like that. The tools I saw are apparently called pottery ribbon tools, so more of a ribbon than a wire then.

There is 4-axis wire EDM, where the upper and lower guides can move separtely, this is probably what you are thinking of? Or more like 6-axis?
