For the FAIR project's SIS100 synchrotron, a series of 113 fast ramped dipoles will be built. This contribution reports about the manufacturing process of the “First Of Series” (FOS) dipole. Special attention is given to the progress achieved during the technological optimization phase for appropriate implementation of a new magnet design taking into account the experience obtained with prototypes. This work was performed jointly by Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) and GSI. We describe the crucial steps of the manufacturing and assembly processes. Experience from the manufacturing of the cable is reported and the tooling and production process will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
