## Summary

Anita Rogoża and Mikołaj Wiewióra from the industrial design studio Mindsailors discuss the historical evolution of the relationship between design and manufacturing with host Voytek Holysz. They trace the shift from individual craftsmanship to mass production driven by Henry Ford's assembly line, and later to the democratization of design via CAD software in the 1990s. The conversation explores how smartphones and bicycles evolved from experimental forms to standardized designs due to user habits and regulations, and how modern mass customization via 3D printing is reshaping the industry.
