IKEA 3D Model Batch Downloader

This script batch downloads 3D model files (GLB format) from IKEA product pages, which you can open in 3D software like Blender. It has been tested only on the Finnish IKEA website (https://www.ikea.com/fi/en).

NOTE: If you don't need to download entire cataloques of models at the time, or running this script is too complicated for you, check out my other script that adds download buttons directly on the IKEA website: https://github.com/apinanaivot/IKEA-3D-Model-Download-Button

Installation

1. Install Python:

   • Download Python 3.7 or later from python.org
   • During installation, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH"

3. The script will:

   • Scrape product links from the provided category page

Downloaded files are saved in the downloaded-files directory within the script's folder.

Additional Information

• You can run the script again with different category URLs to download more 3D models
• If you encounter any issues, make sure you have a stable internet connection and try running the script again
