I looked it up (of course). There are automatic crochet machines on order but they are mainly for making linear strips like laces and things. There's one I saw that can do gloves, but apparently only gloves. No arbitrary shape machines, and they don't seem to be, um, USB printer type things the way a lot of 3D printers are now.
I guess it must be too much of a niche market, because honestly, it's probably way less of a technical challenge to make one of these than it is to make those solid 3D printers. I mean, the materials issue is already solved.
