3d printed parts are mostly printed with PLA (which is cornstarch basically). Some will print with ABS but it's a pain to get printed well. I dont see 3D printing ever taking over injection molding cause you can tell a part that is 3d printed just by looking at it. Great for some things but car plastics....not a chance.
