machine-made
Not individually crafted
Machine-made describes something manufactured by machinery rather than crafted by hand.
The term often implies mass production and uniformity, sometimes with a connotation of lesser quality or character compared to handmade items: machine-made furniture, machine-made rugs.
The hyphen is standard when used before a noun.
