If you are willing to do some programming: have a look at these two programs:
JMol (3D) or JChemPaint (2D). Both are opensource, written in Java, and have
CML import filter (one has MDL as well i think) and can export bitmaps...

Just pick the appropriate classes and glue them together...

the addresses are:

and
