Supposing coronal magnetic fields are in a force-free state from the chromosphere to the height of two solar radii, we reconstruct 3D force-free magnetic fields by making use of a new numerical technique, in which the fields are represented by a boundary integral equation based on a specific Green's function. Vector magnetic fields observed on the photospheric surface can be taken as the boundary conditions of this equation. Magnetic fields in AR8270 on 14 July 1998 were employed as an example to exhibit the capability of this numerical technique.
