CAD, AutoCAD, and CAD-CAM software will have tools which will generate smooth curves between points.

Those French and their curves. The digital equivalent is the Bézier Curve.

A Bézier curve (/ˈbɛz.i.eɪ/ BEH-zee-ay)[1] is a parametric curve used in computer graphics and related fields.[2] The curves, which are related to Bernstein polynomials, are named after French engineer Pierre Bézier, who used it in the 1960s for designing curves for the bodywork of Renault cars.

The only French curve I can find right now is a sheet rubber mask that came with a sand blaster.
