Topic: Rotary Axis printing software?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a slicing program that will allow for printing on a rotary axis?  I can use a rod with scotts painters tape and controlled by a stepper for the "build plate".  Does anyone know of a software out there that allows this?

I have been searching for it, but have not found anything.  This is why I have decided to ask the experts here on Soliforum!

Any help is much appreciated!

Search around the RepRap forum, or RepRap wiki.  I know someone there has tried this, but I can't give you a specific pointer.
