from 2D to VRML?

I have a particular problem, but I am not a graphics
programmer:

In archaeology, pottery is among others classified by its
cross-section. This is possible, because most pottery is a
rotation body.
I am looking for a program that can read a 2D drawing of
such a cross-section, fully rotate it along the vertical axis,
and create a VRML object of it.

Preferable in Open Source on the X11 platform, but in a pinch
Windows will do. The ideal solution should be able to do
this in batch processing.

Thanks,

Paai
