You will need to chamfer the edges around the hole if you want them to have shaper edges because, as you can see in the image below, the meshsmooth makes the holes’ edges very rounded in appearance.

1. Create a plane with lots of segments (the exact amount will require some working out depending on the model you are doing).
2. Delete the appropriate faces, these relate, obviously, to the holes in the final object we are making.
3. Add a ‘Shell’ modifier and give it a value equal to the thickness of the metal you want.
4. Add a ‘Bend’ modifier and give it a value of 360, i.e.360°
5. Add a ‘Meshsmooth’ modifier with a Iteration value of ‘2’, this will make the square holes into circles.
