	As part of a STFC Industrial Programme Support (IPS) Scheme grant, Daresbury Laboratory and Shakespeare Engineering Ltd have been developing the capability to fabricate, process, and test a 9-cell, 1.3 GHz superconducting RF cavity. The objective of the programme of work is to achieve an accelerating gradient of greater than 20 MV/m at an unloaded quality factor of 1.0 x 10¹⁰ or better. Processes such as the high pressure rinsing and the buffer chemical polishing are being developed at Daresbury Laboratory and the manufacturing of the cavity half cells and beampipes are being optimised by Shakespeare Engineering to enable this target to be achieved. These are discussed in this paper.

	As part of an STFC Innovations Partnership Scheme (IPS) grant, in support of enabling UK industry to address the large potential market for superconducting RF structures, Daresbury Laboratory and Shakespeare Engineering Ltd are collaborating to produce a 1.3 GHz 9 cell niobium cavity. This paper describes the procedures to ensure the cavity reaches the required frequency and field flatness. The frequency of each half-cell was measured using a custom measurement apparatus. Combined mechanical and RF simulations were used to compensate for cavity deformation during measurement. Results of Coordinate Measurement Machine measurements of one half-cell are presented. The same procedure will be used to trim the cells at the dumbbell stage, and the full 9-cell cavity will be tuned once welded.
