The model magnet uses Nb Ti superconducting cables at 1.8 K, has a length of one meter with cross section of full scale superconducting dipoles for the large Hadron Collider (L.H.C.) In this paper the various steps of the manufacturing of the magnet are presented. The coils are wound with insulated superconducting cables and cured under pressure for polymerization. Collaring is achieved with stamped aluminum alloy collars. The magnetic circuit consists of two half yokes of laminated iron. A shrunk-fit cylinder is the external structural element. This cylinder which is made of aluminum alloy, is assembled after heating and then closed with an electron-beam welded flange. Details of the manufacturing process, electrical and mechanical measurements performed during fabrication and testing results are reported.
