Can I use Moly wire in my Fanuc machine?

I run a FANUC C400iA.

Usually I only use a brass wire (Hitachi 0.25mm) because it's easy and cheap.

I have a possible job coming up to cut a 3D printed alloy which I do quite often because we have 2 different 3D printers here.

However, for this particular job no copper, brass, or zinc can come near this material, so I started looking at molybden wire.

After some googling it looks like I can get a 0.18mm moly wire quite easily. Can I run this in my machine?

The manual says moly and tungsten wires don't work with ROBOCUT, but I assume that just means that the auto threading etc. won't work, but I can just thread it by hand right?

I know this machine can do 0.1mm wire thickness assuming you have the correct feed guides and so on.

Is this possible?
 
yes, you can but you need little more conversation for this, or you can talk about this with EDM mechanic.
