Raquel Plumed is an Associate Professor of Graphic Expression in Engineering at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction, Jaume I University (UJI). She holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV, 2003) and a Ph.D. in Industrial Technologies, Materials, and Building from UJI (2015). Her research focuses on two main areas within computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD). The first, Sketch-Based Modeling—the core of her doctoral thesis—aims to develop CAD tools that automate the generation of 3D models from freehand 2D sketches. As part of this research, she completed a predoctoral stay at Cardiff University, leading to publications in high-impact international conferences (CORE A+/A). Her second line of research focuses on the quality of 3D CAD models within the Model-Based Enterprise paradigm, addressing how low-quality annotated models can cause manufacturing problems and additional costs in industry. Since 2014, she has collaborated with the Polytechnic University of Valencia and participated in three national research projects—one of them currently ongoing—focused on analyzing CAD model quality and its economic implications for companies. Keywords: Computer-Aided Design (CAD); Sketch-Based Modeling; Model Quality; Model-Based Enterprise; 3D Modeling; Engineering Graphics.
