Japan Amusement Expo 2025: The Preview

IAAPA 2025 isn’t the only major arcade event happening this month, with Japan’s Amusement Expo (formerly called JAEPO) is coming around again this weekend. This show has definitely diminished in its stature over time, partly due to the organizers not budging on it now being held close to IAAPA each November instead of the traditional February time frame. This complicates things for international visitors and exhibitors, to the point that some have to make the choice of attending only one...

Print Smart, Breathe Easy — 3D Printer Emissions

This article appeared in Make: Vol 94. Subscribe for the latest articles. 3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing sectors worldwide, but one critical aspect often overlooked is the emission of particles and chemicals during printing operations, and even from idle printers in the room.

New Games From UNIS For IAAPA 2025: Spin City; Monster Jet Riders; More

Next up on the IAAPA 2025 preview roster is UNIS. I remember first coming across them back in 2009, and they have come a long way since that time. They lean heavy into redemption & crane product, which is not our main focus here, so we’ll cover their new video titles first, then get into the prize/ticket stuff. As is often the case, they have a lot of floor space at the show, with two big booth spaces, #1035 & #1335...

Hot Metal — DIY Blacksmithing Forge

Last year I decided I needed a forge so that I could advance my blacksmithing skills as another technique for my sculpting. There are many commercial models available but, being retired, I have more time than money so I decided to try my hand at making one. To start, I studied YouTube videos of DIY forges. There are many and I watched them all. None were exactly what I wanted so I set out to design a hybrid. I researched...

Canines and Crafts

As a new doggo foster for Rocket Dog Rescue in Oakland, CA I had to go check out their Pop-Up Adoption Event Craft Fair at the Ellen Shershow Photography Studio this past weekend.

New Games From Andamiro USA For IAAPA 2025: Nickelodeon Kart Racers Arcade, Marksman, More

The next company we’re taking a look at for IAAPA 2025 is Andamiro USA. This year, the company is putting a little more video content out than normal; if you are new to the site, we tend to put most of our focus on video games instead of redemption, since the latter doesn’t really need a “signal boost” as such. Andamiro tends to be heavily focused on supporting the redemption side of the industry, which we will discuss briefly, but...
