That theory has been pretty well busted, considering that even large infested can be based on relatively small biological scraps; we clone our warframes, we don't make them directly. That tech was lost along with the Archimedians, else we'd already be able to make modular warframes.

In the future? Possibly. That's one of the only explanations that can resolve the walking lore contradiction that is Revenant.
