How do I get a job in 3D medicine?

Hello all! I have a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering, and I have worked as a custom implant designer before. However due to a health issues, I had to take a career break for about 2 years and I'm looking to get back in. In the meantime, I did a course and specialized in 3D. I want to work as an implant designer again, or in 3D medical visualization or prosthetic design (or anything that combines 3D with healthcare). I have kind of lost the self belief that such jobs exist out there, or that I could get them. I'd really appreciate some help in navigating this scenario.

Yes, those jobs do exist, and your background is a strong fit.
You already have the hardest part: biomedical engineering experience plus 3D skills. A career break does not erase that. You can aim for roles like:

Custom implant designer
Medical 3D modeler / visualizer
Prosthetic design technician
CAD designer in medtech
Product development roles in healthcare

What will help most is to position yourself as someone with biomedical + design + 3D experience, not as someone who “took time off.” Keep your story simple: you paused for health reasons, kept learning, and are now ready to return.
Best next steps:

Refresh your portfolio with 3D medical or healthcare-related work
Update your resume to highlight implant design and 3D software
Apply to medtech companies, prosthetics firms, and medical device design consultancies
Reconnect with former coworkers, recruiters, and LinkedIn contacts
