The Problem

Single-point gauges slow iteration and miss the real behavior of BIW structures, multi-material joints, and battery enclosures — exactly where safety and lightweighting decisions get made.

The Solution

Three ways Trilion speeds automotive programs

Crash & BIW Testing

High-speed DIC captures fold patterns and failure sequences that correlate directly with LS-DYNA and Abaqus.

Forming & Stamping

ARGUS maps thinning, wrinkling, and splitting against FLCs — fewer tryout iterations, tighter tooling.

EV Battery Validation

Measure enclosures, modules, and thermal interfaces under UN ECE R100 and SAE J2464 abuse protocols.

Trusted By
