A gradient coil assembly and a method for manufacturing the gradient coil assembly is provided. The gradient coil assembly includes an insulator sheet formed into a tube extending along an axis. The assembly further includes a first electrically conductive sheet disposed on a first surface of the insulator sheet including a first plurality of electrically conductive paths and a second electrically conductive sheet disposed on a second surface of the insulator sheet including a second plurality of electrically conductive paths. Finally, the second plurality of electrically conductive paths is electrically coupled with a corresponding path of the first plurality of electrically conductive paths.
