You can use the Mask and Extract tools.

In a nutshell:

o Mask the part you want hollowed  
o In the mask menu, set the Shell Thickness  
- Positive number puts the shell inside  
- Negative number puts the shell outside  
o Tap Engrave/Emboss

The new shell will be a separate object.

o For the inner object, you’ll need to check the Inverse Culling option in the Materials menu.  
o Turn off visibility of the inner object  
o Select both parts  
o Voxel merge them

You should now have a hollowed part.
