I have a new 3d printer, and a half dozen apps on my iPhone for 3d scanning, and a few CAD/CAM programs. And needless to say, the iPhone 3d scanners and CAD/CAM programs are both (i) expensive and (ii) super hard to use.

Apple Vision Pro has multiple cameras and could do a great job at 3d scanning, except that apps can't use the 3d cameras at all it seems. But I need to scan a part, work on the 3d model a bit to polish it up, and then 3d print it. This could actually be a "killer app" for the Vision Pro. But there seems to be nothing in this category so far.
 
Apple is its biggest enemy when it comes to using the Vision Pro for more than just content consumption. I love mine but that's all I use it for.
