To mass-produce something is to make a very large number of the same object in a factory, with machines, so each one looks like the next and the price can stay low. Car makers mass-produce cars; phone companies mass-produce phones. The idea became famous in the early twentieth century, when factories learned to run a moving line and stamp out parts.
