That depends on many factors.
-They type of plastic used (PLA or ABS)
-They accuracy of the 3D printer used
-The the software used and its ability to control the build process (wall thickness, fill %)
They won't be as strong as injection molded parts but can still be very strong especially if you take certain factors into account in your part design. There are some major advantages when it somes to lightweight parts because you can create hollow structures that are impossible to achieve any other way.
