PEEK Polymer Machining

My part is PEEK, ULTEM or Vespel and has to hold tolerance. Who machines polymer stock shape without the part moving after it comes off the machine?

What it is

Machining finished parts from polymer stock shape. Distinct from metal machining: the material moves under cutting load, holds heat, and relieves internal stress as material is removed, so fixturing and annealing matter more than speeds and feeds.
