Re-purposing X and Y axis pins on RAMPS 1.4

Hello there!
I need to incorporate a pump and a motor into a printer I am building. So if I get 2 nema17 stepper motors (one them is a pump), could I simply hook them up to the RAMPS board's X and Y axis pins, and control them through nanodlp?
The code would need to spin one of the steppers continuously throughout printing at about 100 RPM, and the other stepper would need to pump liquid after a layer is done, and the z-axis moves down to add on a new layer to be cured.
Also, pumping doesn't have to be very precise, it could pump more than 1 layer at a time, as long as it does so after the previous layers are cured and the z-axis moves down.
Any help is appreciated!
