A supported cutting device is provided that includes a base and at least one cutting element having a cutting edge. The at least one cutting element extends outwardly from the base and has a geometry that permits the supported cutting device to be separated from a mold along parting lines. The base and the at least one cutting element are integrally formed of a metallic material applied by a deposition process. A method of making a supported cutting device is also provided. The method includes the steps of: 1) providing a template having at least one cutting element with a cutting edge; 2) forming a mold using at least a portion of the template that includes the at least one cutting element; 3) depositing a metallic material onto the mold to form a supported cutting device that includes a base and at least one cutting element; and 4) separating the supported cutting device from the mold.
