NewB: Multiple Pictures to 3D geometry w/dimensions (don't need CAD)

[curious aardvark]

you still trying toi get a scan from something costing less than $3000.
I admire your optimism :-)

MeshRoom > AutoDesk Fusion 360 > MeshMixer/Cura?Blender

can't you just do it in fusion 360 ? Not sure why you'd need meshroom or meshmixer.
You should be able to export an accurate .stl file direct from fusion360. Otherwise what's the point of it ?
Just looks like it's overcomplicated.

And i still stick by digital calipers and openscad ;-)

We already did digital calipers, rulers, protractors, tracings, templates, etc. to measure, on site, the induction system or a historic prototype engine and the results very disappointing. Not being able to have the parts in a machine shop with proper equipment is a serious limitation. Not having a Bridgeport w/XY readout is a PITA for hole position measurement.

Back to where we're at:

Method is: Meshroom(photogam) > MeshMixer (CAD edit/fix mesh) > Cura (slicer) > Print part

I don't think Fushion will photogam - AutoDesk has ReCap Pro for that (with no hobby license of course).

Keep in mind I didn't come up with these choices or procedures.

Photogam resolutions range from blurry to sharp for the various 'wares out there. Still surveying comparisons for best pic keeping in mind the First Rule of Buying Technology: Only buy what you need because 6 months later, what you bough is obsolete and inferior. So for now, it's free open source until we need more.
