See full text

An image forming apparatus, including an image forming unit, a resin-made first frame, a first beam, and a second beam, is provided. The first frame is formed in a shape of a plate. The first beam is formed in an elongated shape. The first beam is arranged along and fixed to a planar face of the first frame. The second beam is formed in an elongated shape and arranged along the planar face of the first frame to intersect with the first beam when viewed along an axial direction of a photosensitive drum. The first beam and the second beam are arranged on an opposite side from the image forming unit across the first frame. The first beam and the second beam are fixed to each other at a mutual intersection, where the first beam and the second beam overlap each other when viewed along the axial direction.
