The Trilion Difference

The Digital Testing Partner you can Trust

For 28 years, we have set the standard for optical measurement. Digital expertise, local engineering support, and an integrated ecosystem that scales from a single test to enterprise-wide adoption.

Our Thesis

Single-point measurement existed in a world of paper drawings, but Modern Engineering evolved

Modern programs run in CAD, simulate in CAE, and certify in PLM. The data feeding those systems still mostly comes from gauges, hand tools, and laser trackers, one number at a time. That gap is where engineers lose days, where quality programs lose evidence, and where new platforms lose first-pass yield. Trilion exists to close that gap with full-field, optical, digital measurement that drops directly into your design and manufacturing chain.

Our Story

Our journey, mission and values

Our Journey

From our first ARAMIS installation in 1999 to deploying high-speed DIC on eVTOL battery-drop rigs today, we have kept one bet steady: digital, non-contact, full-field data is better data.

Our Mission

Connect physical testing with the digital record that FAA reviewers, FDA auditors, and design engineers need, with speed, fidelity, and a team you can actually reach.

Our Values

Clarity over jargon. Evidence over marketing. Engineers answer the phone. We sell what actually fits your test, even when that is a system we do not sell.

Five pillars and one promise: Always measurements you can build your products and programs on

Pillar 01

Digital Expertise You Can Trust

We do not just sell Digital Image Correlation systems. We have dedicated 26 years exclusively to mastering them. As a ZEISS Certified Metrology Partner in North America, we bring unmatched depth of application knowledge to every engagement.

Our expertise is used by 90%+ of the top 10 aerospace, automotive and electronics US companies. We have supported mission-critical programs including NASA Space Shuttle Return to Flight and complex fairing separation tests. Our platform is the most-cited DIC system in peer-reviewed research worldwide.

Pillar 02

Embedded Partnership & Nationwide Support

When you need help, you talk to an engineer, our engineers are right there. Our distributed team is local to you. We operate from offices across the United States, delivering rapid on-site service and nationwide responsiveness.

Every customer gets structured Trilion Care support tiers, free ongoing training through Trilion Academy, loaner programs, and responsive remote assistance. We are with you from installation through advanced adoption. 70% of our staff are engineers, which means the person who answers your call can solve your problem on the first call, or on-site the next day.

Pillar 03

Integrated Ecosystem

We offer complementary product lines refined through years of experience integrating them into high-performance measurement systems. Our ecosystem lets us precisely match technical requirements across industries and design tailored solutions for each customer's scale, complexity, and performance needs.

This is not a patchwork of software from different vendors. It is a fully integrated multi-method workflow: strain, motion, 3D geometry, thermal, and photogrammetry, without juggling separate tools. Beyond system sales, our holistic approach includes rentals, application consulting, and engineering services.

Pillar 04

Compliance & Traceability Built-in

Across our entire portfolio, every system undergoes rigorous final assembly acceptance testing. Hardware, software, and components are validated as a complete integrated system. Built on a powerful combination of German and American precision engineering, our systems include calibration certificates documenting traceability to worldwide standards from day one.

Our Automation Suite provides tools for easy on-site recertification, keeping systems audit-ready. No manual calibration logs. No human error in the chain of evidence. A gap-free chain-of-custody from raw image data to certified report.

Automation to Improve Quality & Efficiency

Trilion's Automation Suite and t.Kit scripting framework streamline test setups, standardize lab workflows, and combine processes that used to live in separate tools. By delivering consistent, repeatable results across systems, automation enables faster implementation, wider adoption, and the scaling of testing capacity.

The numbers speak for themselves. Trilion Automation outpaces traditional tools like laser trackers by capturing 6 DOF data up to 60 times faster, cutting processes from hours to minutes and driving immediate value.

What This Means For You

We don't just measure, we help you achieve the highest ROI on your R&D

01

Faster qualification

Pre-built certification workflows and 60x faster 6 DOF capture cut iteration cycles from weeks to days. Your program ships sooner, with stronger evidence.

02

Lower per-test cost

One integrated ecosystem replaces multi-vendor tool stacks. Sub-micrometer 3D resolution at dramatically lower cost than traditional gauges and dedicated systems.

03

Audit-ready compliance

NIST-traceable measurements, ISO 9513 and VDI/VDE 2634 compliance, and gap-free chain-of-custody from raw images to certified report. FAA and FDA review without scramble.

Partnership in Practice

ZEISS Certified. Locally embedded. Globally backed

Trilion is the ZEISS Certified Metrology Partner for Digital Image Correlation in North America. That partnership matters in two specific ways. First: every system we deliver is backed by ZEISS engineering, ZEISS calibration standards, and the ZEISS quality program that aerospace and automotive primes already trust. Second: when you call Trilion, an American engineer answers and an American engineer shows up. Global standards, local responsiveness. That is the deal.

It is also why our product line keeps expanding. ZEISS CORRELATE, ZEISS ARAMIS, GOM Scan, ATOS Q, T-Scan Hawk 2, TRITOP, and the Trilion Automation Suite all live on one shelf because we built them to live there. One partner, one workflow, one chain of evidence.
