We describe and analyze a new algorithm for rounding standard G-code tool paths. The joints of circular/linear elements are replaced by small segments of Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curves so that the final curve is globally C2 continuous. The PH segments are produced via a second order Hermite interpolation. We discuss some implementation details and investigate the error introduced by replacing a part of G-code by a PH curve segment. We also report results of tests within an industrial environment that demonstrate an increase in path velocity while decreasing peak acceleration.
