Mike, You're speaking to someone who has very little image processing experience and is trying to learn as he goes along so nothing is easy....
What should I be searching for? I am searching for APIs rather than executables. Thanks for your help!

Rasterizing the TIN can produce some odd artefacts. GeoTools doesn't have a module for this but google will find plenty of free software that can do it. Here's one... http://www.geomath.onlinehome.de/interpolation.html Then when you have your grid data, creating a GridCoverage will be easy-peasy !
