Depends very much on the printing method and material of choice. The Nylon I use for the FWD Buggy is not far off from injection moulded parts in terms of strength. Instead, the main difference is flex: The printed material is not fibre reinforced, so it flexes considerably more unless you change the design accordingly
Don't expect that quality from FDM (filament) or other DIY printers though. Instead, if you have 3D models of the parts you need, you can have them printed at companies that offer these high-quality printing methods.
