  Detector mechanics can play a significant role in a detector's performance,
improvements typically require in-depth study of total mass, novel ways to
reduce the total mass, as well as more integrated design concepts to save on
material budgets and optimize performance. Particle detectors at future
colliders rely on ever more precise charged particle tracking devices, which
are supported by structures manufactured from composite materials. This article
lays out engineering techniques able to solve challenges related to the design
and manufacturing of future support structures. Examples of current efforts at
Purdue University related to the high-luminosity upgrade of the CMS detector
are provided to demonstrate the prospects of suggested approaches for detectors
at new colliders: a future circular collider or a muon collider. Detectors at
electron-positron machines have significantly smaller material budgets and
require targeted concepts.
