Machine Comparison
Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 vs Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber
Bystronic vs Trumpf · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 and the Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber are both laser cutting machines for flat sheet metal. The makers publish no figures for this pair that can be set side by side on the same basis, so this comparison has no spec table and names no winner on numbers.
What can be said is who each machine suits. The Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 is aimed at stainless steel and aluminum sheet and plate, and at thin-sheet nests with many short contours, where acceleration counts. The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber is aimed at thin and medium sheet metal work on standard-format sheet, with mild steel as its main plate material and thick stainless steel as an occasional job.

Verdict
Choose by the work, since the published figures do not line up. A shop running production nests of thin sheet, or regular stainless steel and aluminum plate, is the buyer the Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 is aimed at. A shop with general thin and medium sheet work on standard sheets is the buyer for the Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber. Check each machine's own page for its power, sheet size and thickness figures before deciding.
