3D printer to make parts?

I'm not sure if many of you have looked inside the transmission for the convertible tops. There's about 6 metal gears and 2 plastic gears. I'm assuming when someone's transmission goes out, it's one of those plastic gears breaking. Those plastic gears look like they cost about $.25, but most people replace the whole transmission for up to a few hundred $$. I don't own or know completely how 3D printer work, but for those who do. Can a 3D printer be used to make those gears?
