Triaxial dynamical models of massive galaxies observed in the ATLAS3D project can provide new insights into the complex evolutionary processes that shape galaxies. The ATLAS3D survey is ideal as the sample comprises a good mix of fast and slow rotators with vastly different mass assembly histories. We present a detailed dynamical study with our triaxial modelling code DYNAMITE, which models galaxies as a superposition of their stellar orbits. The models allow us to constrain the intrinsic shape of the stellar component, the distributions of the visible and invisible matter and the orbit distribution in these nearby early-type galaxies and to relate it with different evolutionary scenarios. Triaxial modelling is essential for these galaxies to understand their complex kinematical features.
