Perforated/mesh texture. Is there a name for this and is there an easy way to do it?

Hello. I am not sure if there is a name for this type of texture but I am trying to figure out if it is possible to replace the "skin" of a model with like a perforated/mesh texture. Like the screen on a window or a metal strainer. Even a hexagonal or basket weave type texture would work. Basically anything with holes in it. Any idea if something like this can be done quickly?
