1. A method for preparing a three-dimensional printing material, the method comprising:
grinding in situ igneous anorthosite rock, the igneous anorthosite rock being predominantly plagioclase feldspar, into an amount of aluminosilicate powder;
heating the amount of aluminosilicate powder to a temperature between approximately 1,100° C. and approximately 1,750° C.;
maintaining the aluminosilicate powder at a temperature between approximately 1,100° C. and approximately 1,750° C. between about one minute and approximately 45 minutes to form a molten aluminosilicate material;
extruding the molten aluminosilicate material through a nozzle to form an elongated bead of molten aluminosilicate material; and
cooling the molten aluminosilicate material to form a hardened aluminosilicate material to the hardened state at a rate of about 300° C. per minute for about two minutes.
