Abstract
This chapter introduces various finishing paths and corresponding generating rules. In particular, we present the Peano-like path and investigate its superior advantages in deterministic figuring or uniform smoothing processes. Analysis and experiments were conducted to validate the influence of different paths and path pitch to the convergence rate and fabrication efficiency, as well as mid-frequency errors and surface roughness.
