  We had constructed the Cavity Fabrication Facility (CFF) for the fabrication of superconducting RF cavity at KEK from 2009 to 2011. In the facility, we installed a deep-drawing machine, a half-cup trimming machine, an electron-beam welding machine, and a chemical etching room in one place. We started the study on the fabrication of 9-cell cavity for International Linear Collier (ILC) from 2009 using this facility. The study is focusing on the cost reduction with keeping high performance of cavity, and the goal is the establishment of mass-production procedure for ILC. We finished the fabrication of two 9-cell cavities by using tools, machines, and equipment of this facility. This article reports the current status of the studies on fabrication of cavity, including the results of vertical tests for the 9-cell cavities which were fabricated in this facillity.
