Not 3D printers, but there are advances in sewing robots; it's a nontrivial problem of mainly computer vision and manipulators, but it's progressing well.

As far as I know they already are able to make okay clothes, but currently they are more expensive than humans at sewing machines - the moment they become cheaper than workers like Meem, all those millions will be out of work.
