Isn't that what people said about cd/dvd burners though?
Not that I've ever heard. Computer components always go down as the years go on and CDs are mass produced with factor equipment, not print on demand one at a time in a 3D printer type machine.

And modeling a space marine in a cad program isn't _that_ difficult.
No, it really isn't. But the quality of the model will most likely be inferior to what you get from injection molded kits.

Well it would still be better than my green stuff skills, just having a simple cad program so i can make tank doors or shoulder pads with my own chapter symbol would be nice.
