I'd guess ABS but they'll be injection moulded, the other potential problem with FDM is strength varies depending on the direction they're printed in, this can be compensated for my including a kevlar strand in the material but that involves a much more expensive printer. For production parts from a major manufacturer they do all sorts of FEA which is way beyond my current knowledge and skills.
