The invention relates to a moulding material used for high-grade melamine tableware and a preparation method thereof. The moulding material is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 35-65% of melamino-formaldehyde resin, 25-35% of inorganic minerals, 5-15% of organic silicon resin, 2-6% of wood cellulose, 0.5-1% of a lubricating agent, 0.5-1% of a curing agent, 1-2% of titanium white, 1-4% of triethanolamine and 0-1% of pigment, wherein the sum of the weight percents of all the raw materials is 100%; and the inorganic minerals are formed by mixing silica powder, jade porcelain and calcium carbonate in a ratio of 3:(0.5-1.5):(0.5-1.5). The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing the melamino-formaldehyde resin, kneading, drying, crushing and carrying out ball milling, and packaging. According to the invention, the inorganic mineral and organic silicon resin are added into melamine resin, and compression moulding is carried out, so that the tableware has the characteristics of higher density, strong compactness, higher break resistance, light transmission, glittering and translucent carving appearance and better quality compared with ceramic tableware.
