The paper deals with the description of how today’s and future CAD/CAE simulation tools is effectively applied in the early engineering process of lighting products. A detailed description of a state to the art headlamp reflector manufacturing process (used material, machines, tools etc) and the consequent application of process simulation tools is given. A summary provides achieved results as well as still existing weak points
