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.
