Hej Mahan, what type of error do you get?
You can use the E57 metadta component to investigate imported E57 files. Here you can evtl find out about the inner makings your E57 file.

Else you can try to export the point clouds as plain XYZ file.

Hello Parimal

Which component is showing this error?

it might be, that the path to the e57, that you specify is not correct.
