    If you can adjust the shape, it is possible to get something like this.

    Also, if you are making this from paper or something that can be creased, you can bypass the rules that apply to sheet metal manufacturing and get this as @STEG mentioned. If you are trying to make this from sheet metal, I don't think the shape is possible in one piece.
