Convert E57 to LAS

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert E57 to LAS?
Yes - E57 converts to LAS.

The headline conversion: export the E57's points to ASPRS LAS (or compressed LAZ) for GIS and smaller files. CloudCompare (File > Save As LAS/LAZ) and PDAL ('pdal translate in.e57 out.laz') do it. Note E57 can hold multiple scans + imagery that a flat LAS cannot, so per-scan metadata and embedded photos are lost in the conversion.
