Quantum Mechanix

Quantum Mechanix Inc., or QMx for short, is an American company based in Collegeville, Pennsylvania and was founded in 2006. It specializes in the production of screen-accurate replica collectibles, apparel, props, jewelry, keychains, maquettes, artwork, blueprints, and scaled models based on a number of licensed entertainment franchises.

In 2009, QMx announced that they had acquired exclusive licensing to produce a number of products based on the 2009 film. This licensing was later extended to encompass other Star Trek properties from the "prime universe". Corgi's and Master Replicas' licensing was abruptly terminated before the commencement of QMx's and eFX Collectibles' licenses.

QMx gained licensing to build both "Studio Scale" (thirty-six inch) and "Collector's Scale" (twelve inch) starship replicas, along with prop replicas, decorative maquettes, artwork, jewelry, key chains, and other novelties.

Interactions with Star Trek productions
QMx created fourteen filming miniatures that were used onscreen in, notably the "History of Starflight" vehicle props seen in Admiral Marcus' office. In May 2013, QMx announced plans to produce reproductions of some of these ships in two scales for retail release.

The company created all Starfleet Academy rings used in the film, including the ring used in the Kelvin Memorial Archive terrorist incident.

In conjunction with Hollywood prop maker Kenney’s Custom Props, QMx also created the phaser props used in the 2013 film.

The Enterprise Project
To promote the release of the USS Enterprise (alternate reality) Artisan Replica and the 2009 Star Trek film, Paramount Pictures' "The Enterprise Project" commissioned twenty-four "graffiti, FX, and pop artists" to "design their own interpretation" of the replica. Notable artists who contributed a design included director Robert Rodriguez, actor James Franco, and comic book artist Jim Lee. The Enterprise Project's artworks were sent to tour cities world-wide beginning in March 2009.
