To make a new warframe you need a chassis, head, systems, and then you need to purchase blueprints and find all of the materials. All planets say which materials they provide, but they don't say if you can find any warframe parts there.
Where can I get the parts for every warframe?

Bosses at the end of each planet. Here's the current list:
Boss: Captain Vor Planet: Mercury Level: Tolstoj Faction: Grineer Drops: Cronus longsword/Seer Pistol Blueprint Parts Boss: The Jackal Planet: Venus Level: Fossa Faction: Corpus Drops: Rhino Warframe Bluprint Parts Boss: Counceler Van Dek Planet: Earth Level: Everest Faction: Grineer Drops: Trinity Warframe Bluprint Parts Boss: Sargent Nef Anyo Planet: Mars Level: War Faction: Grineer Drop: Mag Warframe Bluprint Parts .

Then inside every Warframe detail page, you can find who/where you can drop the items needed.
For example in the Ember page it says
Component blueprints drop from General Sargas Ruk (Tethys, Saturn)
I always suggest to visit the wiki because it happened that after an update, all the components for a specific Warframe were dropped by a different boss, or even not dropped at all anymore! The wiki usually mantains those informations as updated as possible.
Also, not every Warframe is dropped by a boss. For example the Vauban components can only be found in Alerts, Mirage components are found during a specific Quest, while Banshee components can be bought inside a Clan Dojo.
3The list above was good, but with recent updates, it got changed. There are more Warframes and new locations.
Boss Drops - Each one must be killed 3+ times to get each part.
---Rhino - Jackal (Fossa(Venus))
---Oberon - Vay Hek (Everest(Earth))
---Valkyr - Alad V. (Themisto(Jupiter))
---Mag - Nef Anyo (War(Mars))
---Ember - Sargus Ruk (Tethys(Saturn))
---Trinity - Lech Kril + Vor (Iliad(Phobos))
---Ash - Tyl Regor (Titania(Uranus))
---Loki - Hyena Pack (Psamathe(Neptune))
---Frost - Lech Kril (Exta(Ceres))
---Excalibur - Ambulas (Hades(Pluto))
Research Drops - These must be researched in the clan dojo.
---Zephyr - Tenno Research
---Banshee - Tenno Research
---Volt - Tenno Research
Prime Drops - These are earned from the Orikoin Void and Derelict Missions. The locations sometimes change, so I would advise looking at the Wiki to double check the locations.
---Ember Prime ---Frost Prime ---Mag Prime ---Rhino Prime ---Loki Prime
Random Boss - The only random boss Warframe is Nyx, who drops from Phorid manifestation. A Phorid manifestation appears when an Infestation outbreak reaches a boss fight.
Alert - The only alert warframe is Vauabon. He is extremely hard to get seeing that there is a very low chance that when an alert appears, it will be a part. And, if it is, there is always the chance of it being one you already have.
Quest - Purchase and build the quest from the market and complete it to get parts of Mirage and Limbo.
1It is true about all of the Warframe drops above except for Ash. They took out the Ash blueprint part from Tyl Regor on Titania. Now, instead you get equinox parts. The new way to get Ash part is to kill Manics. Kinda like Oberon, they will drop in missions as glowing objects. Manics are fast and hard to hit, but too deadly to ignore.
1You need the blueprints to manufacture those parts; those blueprints are usually dropped by named mobs in the game, the targets of assassination.
Example - The Ash Chassis, Helmet and Systems blueprints are all dropped by Tyl Regor, on Titania in the Uranus System.
