we are using d435i camera,

in the old API SDK it was possible to do:
PXC3DScan::Configuration.startScan = true
and then
PXC3DScan::Reconstruct

in the new SDK API, this does not exist, what are the alternative?
will it be supported in the near future?

The new SDK did not come with an in-built solid 3D model scanning solution and I do not know of plans to create one. The free of charge approach at the SDK's launch was to create a type of scan called a point cloud, export the data as a point-cloud 'ply' file and then load the ply into a 3D modelling software package such as MeshLab to convert the point cloud into a solid mesh object like the kind created with 3DScan in the old SDK. There is a guide to this process in the link below.

Since the launch of the 400 Series cameras, commercial software packages have emerged that can provide 3D model scanning for the 400 Series cameras. These include LIPScan 3D, DotProduct Dot3D and RecFusion.

A Python based program called Pyntcloud can also do point cloud to mesh conversion.
