Tasks often include meeting with patients to understand their needs, creating detailed 3D models, selecting appropriate materials, and testing prototypes for fit and function. Working within a multidisciplinary environment, you may also provide technical support during manufacturing and make iterative adjustments based on feedback. This dynamic role balances engineering precision with patient interaction, making each day varied and rewarding.
