The invention is drawn to a nozzle device for gas torches which allows interactive, real-time control of thermoplastic processing and a method of using this device. The device consists of a movable nozzle slide that it attached to the tip of the torch. The nozzle slide can be moved in an upward or downward direction, thereby changing the amount of heat contacting the material.
