Overview
The Bystronic BySprint Fiber is Bystronic's high-speed 2D flatbed fiber laser cutting machine in the standard 3000 x 1500 mm (3015) format, available in laser powers from 3 kW to 10 kW. Bystronic positions the BySprint Fiber as a performance-focused platform optimized for cutting speed on thin to medium sheet thicknesses, combining high axis dynamics with Bystronic's ByOptik cutting head and the company's proven fiber laser optics technology. It is one of the most widely adopted fiber laser platforms in European and North American fabrication shops.
The BySprint Fiber's axis system achieves high positioning speeds through Bystronic's linear drive technology in key configurations, delivering the rapid sheet positioning between cuts that translates directly to cycle time advantage on nest-dense programs. The ByOptik cutting head maintains consistent focus across the cutting envelope and handles automatic nozzle and lens changes to keep the machine running through lens maintenance cycles without extended downtime. Bystronic's ByCut Smart cutting intelligence adjusts cutting parameters automatically for detected material and thickness, reducing parameter setup time for operators.
The BySprint Fiber supports Bystronic's automation ecosystem including the ByTrans sheet loading/unloading systems and BySort part sorting. Bystronic's ByOptimizer nesting software handles offline programming and nesting optimization. The machine integrates with Bystronic's Manufacturing Intelligence platform for production monitoring, OEE tracking, and remote diagnostics. This data connectivity is increasingly important for shops managing multiple laser machines across a production floor.
The BySprint Fiber competes directly with the TRUMPF TruLaser 5030 fiber and the Mazak Optiplex 3015 Fiber in the high-speed 3015 fiber laser segment. Bystronic's strong service network and software ecosystem make it a credible alternative to TRUMPF for shops that are not already committed to a specific brand. Pricing is typically in the $500,000-$900,000 range depending on laser power and automation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- High-speed linear drive axis system delivers fast positioning between cuts, reducing cycle time on dense nesting programs
- ByOptik cutting head with automatic nozzle and lens management keeps the machine productive through maintenance cycles
- ByCut Smart automatic cutting intelligence reduces parameter setup time and adapts to material variation without manual tuning
- Strong Bystronic automation ecosystem with ByTrans loading, BySort sorting, and Manufacturing Intelligence data platform
Limitations
- Cannot cut non-metallic materials due to fiber wavelength limitations
- Premium pricing in the $500,000-$900,000 range requires strong production volume to achieve ROI versus lower-cost fiber competitors
- Shops not in the Bystronic ecosystem face a software and workflow transition; integration with non-Bystronic machines requires additional work

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bystronic offers the BySprint Fiber in 3 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, and 10 kW configurations. The 6 kW version is the most common production choice for mixed mild steel and stainless work. Higher powers increase cutting speed and maximum thickness capability.
02
Both are high-speed 3015 fiber lasers in a similar price range. The TruLaser 5030 has TRUMPF's BrightLine fiber option for superior thick stainless edge quality. The BySprint Fiber has a comparably competitive axis system. Choice often comes down to service network preference, software ecosystem, and price at time of purchase.
03
ByCut Smart is Bystronic's automatic cutting intelligence system that recognizes material and thickness from the program and automatically selects or adjusts cutting parameters. It reduces the time required to set up cutting parameters for new jobs and compensates for material variation within a sheet.
04
Yes. Bystronic's ByTrans Linear for sheet loading/unloading and BySort for automatic part sorting integrate with the BySprint Fiber. Tower storage systems (ByTower) provide automated material presentation. Bystronic's full automation portfolio is well-developed and widely installed.
05
Pricing ranges from approximately $500,000 for 3 kW base configurations to $900,000 for 10 kW machines with full automation. Used BySprint Fiber machines from 2017-2022 are available from $150,000 to $400,000 depending on power, condition, and options.
