A production method for a polyimide resin powder, comprising the step of reacting a tetracarboxylic acid component comprising a tetracarboxylic dianhydride with a diamine component comprising an aliphatic diamine in the presence of a solvent comprising an alkylene glycol-based solvent represented by the formula: wherein Ra 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Ra 2 represents a linear alkylene group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 1-3, wherein the method further comprises the step of: separately preparing (a) a solution containing the tetracarboxylic acid component in the specific solvent and (b) a solution containing the diamine component in the specific solvent, then adding the solution (b) to the solution (a) or adding the solution (a) to the solution (b) to prepare (c) a solution containing a polyamic acid, and subsequently imidizing the polyamic acid by heating the solution (c) until the solution temperature reaches 150°C or higher and keeping the solution at this temperature for 0.5 to 6 hours to synthesize a polyimide resin, thereby depositing the polyimide resin powder in the solution (c), wherein the term "powder" indicates that the ratio of particles passing through a sieve with a nominal mesh opening of 500 μm for JIS tests is 90 mass% or more when subjected to a sieving test according to the method of JIS K0069. wherein Ra 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Ra 2 represents a linear alkylene group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 1-3, wherein the method further comprises the step of: separately preparing (a) a solution containing the tetracarboxylic acid component in the specific solvent and (b) a solution containing the diamine component in the specific solvent, then adding the solution (b) to the solution (a) or adding the solution (a) to the solution (b) to prepare (c) a solution containing a polyamic acid, and subsequently imidizing the polyamic acid by heating the solution (c) until the solution temperature reaches 150°C or higher and keeping the solution at this temperature for 0.5 to 6 hours to synthesize a polyimide resin, thereby depositing the polyimide resin powder in the solution (c), wherein the term "powder" indicates that the ratio of particles passing through a sieve with a nominal mesh opening of 500 μm for JIS tests is 90 mass% or more when subjected to a sieving test according to the method of JIS K0069. separately preparing (a) a solution containing the tetracarboxylic acid component in the specific solvent and (b) a solution containing the diamine component in the specific solvent, then adding the solution (b) to the solution (a) or adding the solution (a) to the solution (b) to prepare (c) a solution containing a polyamic acid, and subsequently imidizing the polyamic acid by heating the solution (c) until the solution temperature reaches 150°C or higher and keeping the solution at this temperature for 0.5 to 6 hours to synthesize a polyimide resin, thereby depositing the polyimide resin powder in the solution (c), wherein the term "powder" indicates that the ratio of particles passing through a sieve with a nominal mesh opening of 500 μm for JIS tests is 90 mass% or more when subjected to a sieving test according to the method of JIS K0069.
