Explanation:
The 'sizing plate', which determines the form and shape of the extruded profile, is also known as a 'die' in English.

Compare:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion
with
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusión

and, in particluar, look at the photos (with English captions) in the Spanish version under the heading "Matrices de aluminio para extrusión en caliente".

Have a look here for illustrated explanations of extrusion processes and systems (including 'vacuum sizing'):
