Can someone explain or point me towards a good tutorial that explains how to match complex curves, like the PS5 side panels?

I want to make a controller stand that sits on top of my PS5 in it’s horizontal position.

I’m most familiar (but still very beginner) with Fusion 360, but I’m open to trying other software if there’s some killer feature that makes this easier.

Any tips appreciated, thanks.

    3D-scanning and work with the digital twin.

    OpenScan is a opensource project for smaller objects. With the PS5 maybe a Creality CR-Scan but it’s quality will be borderline unusable for a shape like a PS5 panel. So after all the entry scanner for a job like this could be a Shining Einstar.

    Good news: If you own an iPhone try it’s lidar first. Creality CR-Scan is only slightly better than iPhones. With Android phone, you could try photogrammetry but to scan the PS5 part you would need matting spray and even more tracker (small dots glued to the surface).

    Btw. Somebody somewhere at some point in time already scanned or modeled the PS5 side panel. As starting point check GrabCAD and thingiverse for a 3D-model.
