1. A composition for use in the manufacture of three-dimensional objects by a method of selective dispensing, said composition comprising:
- at least one reactive component;
at least one photo-initiator;
a surface-active agent; and
a stabilizer;
wherein said composition has a first viscosity above 50 cps at room temperature, and a second viscosity compatible with ink-jet printers at a second temperature, wherein said second temperature is higher than room temperature.

35. A method for the preparation of a 3-D object by 3-D printing, said method comprising:
-
dispensing a first interface material from a printing head, said first interface material comprising;
at least one reactive component;
at least one photo-initiator;
a surface-active agent; and
a stabilizer;
dispensing a second interface material from said printing head, said second interface material comprising;
at least one non-reactive and low toxicity compound a surface-active agent; and
a stabilizer; and
combining said first interface material and said second interface material in pre-determined proportions to produce a multiplicity of construction layers for forming said 3-D object.
