white area is a square tube extrusion.
gray area is the steel die - note
that the center section has to be
supported by the 4 red pins. This is
referred to as a mandrel and adds
to the complexity of die making.

white area is a “U” channel extrusion.
This die is much easier to make, as it
is cut into the solid block of steel.
