Helge Rinck serves as a Teacher for special tasks in Computer-Aided Design at Saarland University of Fine Arts (HBKsaar) since 2005, operating from the CAD Studio. His role focuses exclusively on advanced digital design instruction across multiple software platforms.

His academic foundation includes:

• 1986-1989: Design studies at Saarland University of Applied Sciences
• 1989-1992: Advanced design studies at Saar Academy of Fine Arts

Rinck's expertise centers on the practical application of CAD technologies in product development. He specializes in creating immersive learning experiences through tools like Fusion 360, Rhino, and Grasshopper, with growing emphasis on virtual reality integration via GravitySketch and Unreal Engine. His teaching methodology bridges traditional product design principles with cutting-edge digital prototyping techniques.

As a project supervisor, Rinck has guided significant student initiatives including 'Industry Calling', 'Komm in die Gänge', 'Place To Be', and 'SRC 05 - Formula Student', often connecting classroom learning to industry challenges through partnerships like the Rimowa Designpreis.

The CAD Studio functions as his operational base, providing specialized facilities for hands-on training in 3D modeling, parametric design, and real-time rendering. His current course load extends through Winter Semester 2025/26, demonstrating ongoing active engagement in academic instruction.
