AB: In past works, forward modeling techniques have been successfully used to study the morphology and the electron density of streamers and flux rope coronal mass ejections. Nevertheless, these studies have been done using SOHO-LASCO data. The STEREO mission, launched in October 2007, provide now 2 new points of view in addition to the one provided by SOHO. Besides the Lyot coronagraphs aboard the STEREO-SECCHI instrument package, the Heliospheric Imagers, also part of the SECCHI package, provide now a new and extended view of the corona, from 7 degrees elongation to almost 90 degrees. In this study, we will make use of the 3 points of view provided by these two missions to constrain better the three-dimensional reconstruction of CMEs, from few solar radii, up to Earth orbit. We will present the results concerning the morphology, dynamics and electron density obtained for different recent CME events.
