    Abstract: Components and methods of making the same are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of forming a component comprises forming metal anchoring elements at a first surface of a support element having first and second oppositely facing surfaces, the support element having a thickness extending in a first direction between the first and second surfaces, wherein each anchoring element has a downwardly facing overhang surface; and then forming posts having first ends proximate the first surface and second ends disposed above the respective first ends and above the first surface, wherein a laterally extending portion of each post contacts at least a first area of the overhang surface of the respective anchoring element and extends downwardly therefrom, and the overhang surface of the anchoring element resists axial and shear forces applied to the posts at positions above the anchoring elements.
