    In the process of developing talent, professional experimental practice teaching is a crucial tool for the thorough application of knowledge and the development of creative ability. Through independent design and development of experimental instruments and equipment, it is important to raise the standard of the scientific research and experimental practice teaching. This paper designs and implements a double vacuum debulking (DVD) equipment for the production and maintenance of aviation composite structures in accordance with professional characteristics. The equipment consists of a double vacuum mechanical structure, a temperature control system, a vacuum system, and a monitoring system. It can be used to form composite material structures and repair structures that adhere to aviation manufacturing standards. It can also be used to carry out the primary experimental practice projects related to composite material science and engineering. This equipment is inexpensive, safe, and easy to operate, thus problems such as excessive costs, specialized machinery, and large, costly industrial equipment that impede scientific instruction and research are resolved. With the use of this equipment, students can fully express their subjective initiative and develop their practical abilities, giving them more flexibility in applying the knowledge they have gained through experimentation.
