Abstract
We introduce 3d printing, a new algorithm for generating 2d \( \mathcal{N}=\left(0,2\right) \) gauge theories on D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds using 4d \( \mathcal{N}=1 \) gauge theories on D3-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds as starting points. Equivalently, this method produces brane brick models starting from brane tilings. 3d printing represents a significant improvement with respect to previously available tools, allowing a straightforward determination of gauge theories for geometries that until now could only be tackled using partial resolution. We investigate the interplay between triality, an IR equivalence between different 2d \( \mathcal{N}=\left(0,2\right) \) gauge theories, and the freedom in 3d printing given an underlying Calabi-Yau 4-fold. Finally, we present the first discussion of the consistency and reduction of brane brick models.
