ATLIX Taps Nikon SLM Veteran Charlie Grace as President and CRO

A Veteran of Metal AM Sales Takes the Top Commercial Role

ATLIX has named Charlie Grace as its new President and Chief Revenue Officer. Grace previously served as President of Nikon SLM Solutions North America and held chief commercial roles at both ExOne and 3D Systems. He joins ATLIX at a moment when the company is expanding its commercial reach across global markets.

Matthias Himmelsbach, CEO of ATLIX Group, said Grace's background in metal additive manufacturing and his track record of revenue growth made him a strong fit for the company's next phase. Grace will oversee sales, services, and technical support functions at the group level, giving him influence across all ATLIX subsidiaries.

Grace's career spans more than two decades in industrial technology. At Nikon SLM Solutions, he led the global go-to-market organization for metal additive manufacturing. Before that, he held senior roles at ExOne, 3D Systems, EFI, and Xerox.

The appointment signals ATLIX's intent to sharpen its commercial strategy as it competes for market share in metal AM. With an experienced operator like Grace at the top, the company is betting that stronger customer relationships and clearer global execution will drive the next round of growth.
