Even in the clothing and textile industry this seems to be true. While different in process from what this startup was working on, advanced CNC knitting machines that can produce an entire garment (think seamless underwear, Nike Flyknit shoes, seamless athletic shirts) have been around and used in mass production for a number of years now. But the notion of customized, individually-fitted garments produced using this type of technology still seems to be quite a ways off even though it's received a lot of hype. Obviously there are logistics challenges, but at least to me as an outsider it seems to be that a big part of the issue is that pattern-making (i.e. the engineering side of clothing design) remains a skilled activity that has not been amenable to full automation.
