The early 20th century marked the advent of mass production. Rapid innovations in manufacturing and materials technology enabled manufacturers to produce a wide diversity of functional products at low cost.

The middle part of the 20th century saw the birth of the industrial design profession. Designers such as Raymond Loewy, Norman Bel Geddes, and Henry Dreyfuss helped manufacturers create products in which form and appearance were as important as function and cost.
In the 21st century new materials and processes will enable manufacturers to build products with ever increasing complexity. Effective implementation of these technologies is critical to a product’s success.
