Scanning is still a challenge, a good 3d modeler can do better. Then you end up with a lumpy part because of the way the plastic is extruded. Good for prototypes, for production you'd make a mold of that part after smoothing and use the cast parts.

I should think that if GE can print a jet engine, plastic parts might be decent, if affordable.
