The invention provides a carbon fiber honeycomb reinforced polyimide foam material and a preparation method thereof. The foam material is obtained through a reaction of polyimide prepolymer powder and a carbon fiber honeycomb material. A preparation method of the polyimide prepolymer powder comprises the steps that BTDA and methyl alcohol are reacted for 1.5-2.5 h in a backflow state to prepare a 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetramethyl acid dimethyl ester solution, BPDA and methyl alcohol are reacted for 10-11 h in a backflow state to obtain a 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid dimethyl ester solution, the obtained 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetramethyl acid dimethyl ester solution and the obtained 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid dimethyl ester solution are mixed, MDA is added into the mixture, stirring is performed at room temperature for 0.5-1 h, a foam stabilizer is added, stirring continues to be performed for 0.5-3 h, a polyimide prepolymer solution is prepared, and the polyimide prepolymer solution is dried to obtain the polyimide prepolymer powder, wherein the mole ratio of the BTDA to the BPDA is (6-8):(2-4). The carbon fiber honeycomb reinforced polyimide foam material has uniform foam holes and quite high mechanical property and is low in production cost.
