Very unlikely.
STL files are 3D mapping data files for 3D printing; BMP files are 2D flat images. So either you would have to make "N slices" each an individual bitmap, or you'd have to chose a projection point and "render" the image. Automatically as part of you project? Unlikely to work in exactly the way you want!
But if you are getting the image you want as an SVG file, just draw that onto a BMP, or use a converter like ImageMagic.
