How would I turn a part like this
View attachment 335085
And hollow it out into something like this?

the dimensions are
150mm long, 40mm wide and 50mm tall
Any advice would be much appreciated thank you!
WOW! Funny, you should be a comedian!
...but I don't actually need the part, I was just curious if could be done on a cnc mill but by the looks of it I guess not
You could also do the inside with a wire EDM but that would be a long, slow process...
Isn't that pretty much what Doug suggested? Just an imaginary part.
I suppose, it it were a one-off, that it could be done on a shaper. Take an over-size piece of stock
and bore out the largest possible hole that would fit within the profile then attack it with a shaper.
You'd need to to rotate the part several times and you'd likely need to grind multiple tools but it
could be done. Once you had the ID finished you could whittle away at the outside with a regular
mill.

but is their no possible way to manually mill out the inside?

No actually, I'm a novice and I just started doing machining as a hobby. Genuinely curious if this can actually be done on a cnc mill like a tormach
